There needs to be careful attention & timely interventions by a well-trained teacher who understands how children learn mathematics, where they struggle & what to do about it. • To adapt, a teacher must know how to get students to reveal where they are in terms of what they understand & what their problems might be. • A teacher must have specific ideas of how students are likely to progress, including what prerequisite knowledge & skill they should have mastered, & how they might be expected to go off track or have problems. • A teacher would need to have, or develop, ideas about what to do to respond helpfully to the particular evidence of progress & problems they observe.
