Choose Which Steps to Teach
Big Maths lessons are organised into CLIC and SAFE sessions, prioritising Basic Skills to provide the foundations for Wider Maths.
A CLIC session usually lasts for 20 minutes roughly 5 minutes spent on each area:
Normally, the rest of your lesson is used to cover wider maths, through SAFE:
- Counting
- Learn Its
- It’s Nothing New
- Calculation
- Shape
- Amounts
- Fractions
- Explaining Data

Every learning step in the Big Maths framework has in-depth teacher guidance on how to introduce the step and guidance on what to look out for as you teach your lesson. These are great for creating a consistency of teaching across school and are invaluable to teachers who aren’t confident in maths.
