Part of the Oxford Smart Curriculum Service, Oxford Smart Mosaic is an intuitive and impactful course created by Oxford and Craig Barton which helps to embed mastery.
Based on classroom best practice, it is designed to support all students to achieve their potential and enjoy mathematics. Mosaic combines clear, high-quality instruction with engaging, thought-provoking tasks, and is packed with different types of practice to build knowledge and help students to master each topic as they progress through the curriculum.

How is Oxford Smart Mosaic different?
- Fully supports the 5 core mastery principles set out by the NCETM: An inclusive mastery approach that is intuitive to implement and supports specialists and non-specialists alike.
- Designed around Craig Barton’s Learning Episode Model: A responsive, step-by-step approach that is easy to implement with minimal PD, this offers a supportive and consistent teaching and learning approach.
- Aligned to the DfE non-statutory guidance: Provides a clear and coherent curriculum pathway, with careful sequencing and linking of knowledge, skills, and understanding throughout KS3.
- Everything all in one place: Mosaic is delivered through a blend of print and digital resources, with all digital resources – including digital books, lesson PowerPoints, activity sheets, assessments, Next Steps, and reporting – available on Kerboodle.
How do students and teachers benefit?
- Makes new mathematical concepts stick: Knowledge is introduced in micro-steps so that it builds progressively, whilst concepts are connected and understanding is deepened through intelligent practice opportunities and Craig Barton’s ‘Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain’ model.
- Adaptive learning pathways support all students to thrive at their own level: Brand-new ‘Next Steps’ on Kerboodle offer personalised intervention and extension activities to strengthen and extend students’ knowledge.
- Enables teachers to quickly identify and pre-empt gaps in knowledge: Using data from our partners at Eedi, Diagnostic Questions at the start of every chapter allow teachers to easily check understanding.
