Supporting autism in KS3 Maths
Ways to make a new idea explicit
Explain the notation
Introduce what a symbol means in the current example. Check the meaning before expecting your child to use it in a longer question.
Compare examples
Place a correct example beside a non-example and discuss the difference. Use this to clarify a rule or definition.
Make reasoning visible
Offer a choice of saying, writing or drawing an explanation where appropriate. Focus on the mathematical idea being communicated.
Keep support and challenge together
For algebra, a tutor might show an equation as a relationship between two equal expressions, then ask what can change while equality is preserved. Once the idea is secure, the task can become more challenging without changing the agreed way of presenting it. Predictability in the lesson format does not have to mean repeating easy work.
An approach to agree together
Before
Set expectations
Share the main topic and discuss any changes to the usual lesson routine.
During
Check the explanation
Ask whether the wording or example is clear and allow time for a response.
After
Choose the next step
Identify what is understood and what would benefit from another example.
Frequently asked questions
Can lessons support a student who is already strong at maths?
Yes. Discuss whether the aim is extension, clearer written reasoning or support with a particular topic. The plan should reflect strengths as well as difficulties.
Does the tutor need our school’s scheme of work?
A current topic list or recent exercise is helpful, even without a full scheme. It lets the tutor connect tuition to what is happening in class.
How is autism experience checked?
The tutors have declared this experience. Ask about relevant examples and qualifications during a free 15-minute introduction, and include your child’s preferences in the decision.
The lesson ideas above are examples to discuss with your tutor, not a fixed programme for every learner. For wider educational information, see National Autistic Society education guidance.
