Shots of Harold Fletcher, chief inspector for schools in Staffordshire teaching a group of junior school pupils. Pat Eaglestone explains in a voice over how the school uses the type of mathematical terms usually learnt by older pupils. We then see a class of infant pupils sorting shapes and explaining how sets and times tables work with sets of objects. Fletcher then talks to a boy called Andrew about his times tables.

Harold Fletcher was involved in the Nuffield Foundation Mathematics Teaching Project which is why Staffordshire became involved in this development in the teaching of primary school maths.
