What is timely practice?
The problem: Nationwide almost all learners learn what they are taught in almost all maths lessons … yet ... if we assess low attaining and underachieving learners a week after the lesson, most learners will have forgotten most of the learning of the lesson.
The solution: Use 10 to 15 minutes of each lesson to "do timely practice". Learners independently complete their personalised PDF assignments while the teacher has time and headspace to give feedback. The assignments, created by the timely practice app, embed new and existing maths learning ever more durably into each learner's long-term memory.
timely practice supports smaller working-memory friendly teaching:
- Assessment for learning, planning, teaching, assessment of learning, retrieval practice and feedback are connected. Each supports and is supported by the others to more reliably build chunks or mental schema in each learner's long term memory.
- Building larger, more accurate and better connected chunks and triggers in long term memory "frees up" working memory capacity for the next spiral of new learning.
- Each learner's maths journey is a relentless but gentle spiral of increasing learning expectations.
- Learners' motivation, pace of work and attainment accelerates. Within 6 months learners can be seen to be closing the learning gap. Within 12 to 24 months the attainment of most of the timely practice learners is on a parr with or higher than the attainment of their peers in "the set above" not using timely practice.

Recommended Usage
Learners below the 15th percentile use for 10 to 15 minutes every maths lesson.
Learners between the 16th to 40th percentile use 2, ideally 3, times per week, for 15 to 20 minute sessions.

Educational Impact
Teachers interact with the app via an android device: planning teaching, creating and assessing the learners' PDF assignments.
Learners write on the PDF assignments in lessons or for homework.
A few minutes.
The teacher
- select the teaching order of topics,
- adds the names and the broad level of their learners (if known).
Anyone can create the account.
Parents should begin with pre assess (not retrieval practice) until all topics are pre assessed - to catch learning before it is forgotten. Thereafter parents may use the customer knowledge base and/or schedule a training session to get the most from using the timely practice app for filling in learning gaps before going on to add harder learning from each topic.
