The reasoning toolbelt provides 4 different ideas of how to support children’s reasoning skills.
The visualiser- drawing out problems
The organiser- using a table to organise answers
Captain conjecture/ captain inconvicible - working on children explaining and proving their ideas
Evi-dent- teaching children to provide mathematical evidence

Can be used as a basis for whole staff training or individual teachers who want CPD or improve their class’ reasoning skills.

As well as a training power point, an editable resource is provided for own working walls/ work sheets etc.

Had a positive whole school impact with improved test scores on reasoning papers at our school.
