B15 WHY DON’T THEY REMEMBER IT?
RETRIEVAL PRACTICE THAT STICKS
Sub-category: Mathematical content and concepts
Antje Leigh-Lancaster, Leigh-Lancaster Consulting
Y3 - Y12
I’m sure we’ve all had moments where we’re surprised by what
our students haven’t remembered. In this workshop, we will
take a closer look at retrieval practice not only as a way to
build fluency, but also to consolidate learning and deepen
understanding. Together, we will:
•
unpack the key characteristics of effective retrieval
practice
•
work through and review a variety of question formats
and analyse how they encourage active engagement
•
discuss practical, research-informed review strategies and
approaches
•
outline key considerations for whole-school
implementation
You will leave this interactive session with a range of practical
ideas, a copy of the presentation, and a whole-school
implementation guide.
Key takeaways:
1. A clearer understanding of what makes retrieval practice
effective
2. Practical question formats that encourage active student
engagement and thinking about the mathematics
3. Strategies and resources to support whole-school
implementation

Coming soon to the Cambridge GO platform, Lesson Studio
will allow you to create a customised course schedule for your
mathematics classes at a year, semester, term, unit, week or
lesson level in just a few clicks, drawing on curriculum-aligned
textbook content. Whether you need assistance aligning our
resources to your school’s specific scheduling needs, or you
have a model that works and want to update your planning
documents for the new school year in a fraction of the time,
this flexible new feature will have you covered. You can
also build individual lesson plans for yourself or for another
teacher to use while you’re away, incorporating resources
from our vast digital suite. This session will demonstrate the
Lesson Studio features, and attendees will receive printouts of
plans of various types to show what is possible.
Key takeaways:
1. Attendees will be shown how to use Lesson Studio to create
customisable course-planning documents and build ready-touse lesson plans that any teacher can use directly or set for a
CRT.
2.Attendees will be given templates created in the session
that highlight diversity of what can be created using the tool.
