Bank current learning service
This is a free service we are offering to embed as much as possible of the learners' current maths learning to cover a period where teaching is not happening or not ideal.
This is the service for learners not already using timely practice, for learners already using timely practice please follow this link.
The race between teaching/learning and forgetting
We at timely practice estimate that school closure from the end of March to early September, for low attaining learners, could result in the loss of a complete academic year's learning (see 
box below)

Best estimate of learning loss of maths over the summer holiday is 6 weeks to 1.8 months of learning. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0907568218779130 March 2020 - September 2020 is a little over 4 times the length of the summer holiday - so learning loss could be 5 to 7.5 months. September 2019 - March 2020 was 7 months, so it is not unreasonable to think that all the learning of the academic year 2019-20 could be lost to forgetting, unless we find a way for learners to retain learners' maths learning. This is what the bank current learning service plans to achieve. |
Hard to access on-line teaching and practice?
Many teachers and a few parents of low attaining learners (especially looked after children and those with SEN), have told us that their learners cannot access work sent home.

When learners attempt to independently answer as many questions as possible from their timely practice assignments - we quickly find and reconfirm their existing learning. If learners go on to practice similar but different practice questions at carefully spaced intervals, then they will retain that learning for longer. By extending the wait between one practice and the next the learner embeds that learning more deeply each time they practice. TheSolutionpart1.pdf explains how embedding learning works after new teaching and learning. (The partner pdf's are found here). The process for more deeply embedding existing learning is similar, but we wait longer between each practice with the embed current learning service. |
What is required for the bank current learning service?
This is a service for learners not already using timely practice, for learners already using timely practice please follow this link.
...
| finding existing learning phase | embedding learning phase | |
|---|---|---|
| the lowest attaining learners in year 6 or 7 | 7 x 15 question assignments | 6 x 15 question assignments |
| a learner who nearly gained a grade 4 at GCSE | 15 x 15 question assignments | 10 x 15 question assignments |
After the finding existing learning phase?
The school can go on to
- the embedding learning phase or
- use timely practice to both finish the embedding learning phase and teach using timely practice
