Key Messages
The needs of pupils, based on evidence, should determine which form of supplementary SEN teaching support is most appropriate.
.
Team teaching can facilitate effective collaboration, between classroom teachers and SEN teachers leading to improved learner outcomes, learning experiences and teacher practices.
.
Team teaching can be used to support the identified priority learning needs of pupils, for early intervention and preventative approaches in mathematics. An inclusive classroom climate and choice of task can support all pupils to achieve success in mathematics within any class structure.

Guiding Principles
(Guidelines for Primary Schools, Supporting Pupils with Special Educational Needs in Mainstream Schools, DES 2017)
Teaching resources provided should facilitate the development of truly inclusive schools. Supports provided should be based on identified needs as outlined in the Continuum of Support Guidelines. The class teacher has primary responsibility for all pupils. SET supports should be used solely for the support of pupils with identified special educational needs, including those pupils for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL) and early intervention & prevention. SEN supports cannot be used to reduce the pupil – teacher ratio in mainstream classes. Neither can they be used to allow any SET sole responsibility for the delivery of any curriculum subject to any particular class. Pupils with the greatest levels of need should have access to the greatest level
- f support.
Schools with more than one support teacher should establish and maintain a core team of teachers to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs.

Identifying Priority Learning Needs: Case Studies
3rd/4th Class Anna 1st/ Class Cian
Cian
Pre- number/early number: Classifying, ordering & comparing
- bjects
Counting and Numeration: Counting orally, subitising, counting
- bjects in a set, ordering numerals
Beginning Addition and Subtraction Combining totals to 10
Anna
Place Value: Number order Multiple representations of number
Number Sense: Knowing about using numbers flexibly in both mental and written calculations Problem Solving: Being aware of and using strategies to solve problems.
Priority Learning Needs
Cian’s Targets
Pre-number: Cian will sort objects into three properties with 80% accuracy. Numeration: Cian will orally count on from 10 to 20 chorally and independently. Addition and Subtraction: Cian will combine sets to 10 with and without manipulatives.
01 02 03
Anna will orally count number sequences forwards and backwards from 100-500. Anna will develop a “have a go” attitude in maths by contributing to class discussion and by attempting tasks independently. Anna will use more than one strategy when solving problems.
01 02 03
Anna’s Targets
Anna will express numbers from 100-500 and shapes in concrete, pictorial & abstract representations.
