While there is a push for schools to reopen and there is talk of accelerated learning, it cannot be emphasized enough that lack of sufficient time to rebuild skills will be sure to adversely impact students' attainments in mathematics. It is not meaningful to think of a bridge course and try to deliver all the lessons of an entire academic year and expect students to catch up on the grade-level mathematics. It is necessary to develop resources a sequence of lessons for the core areas of school mathematics - focusing on Classes 1-6. Fluency in these areas, it is expected, will help children meet the requirements of the mathematics syllabus from Class 7 onwards.
