Who can take part?

This opportunity is open to all schools participating in Teaching for Mastery Work Groups. It is not available to schools in Introductory Work Groups. Lead participants from Work Group schools will be two teachers – one each from Year 4 and Year 5. Support will also be given to maths leads and headteachers.

What is involved?

Knowledge of multiplication and division and its applications forms the single most important aspect of the KS2 curriculum, and is the gateway to success at secondary school. This project enables pupils in Years 4 and 5 to develop fluency in multiplication and division facts, and a confidence and flexibility with number that exemplifies good number sense.

Teaching materials will be provided to cover five short sessions a week, with participants expected to support colleagues in their year groups to use the resources with all Year 4 and 5 classes.

What will you learn?

• Your pupils in KS2 will develop automaticity in multiplication and division facts through regular practice
• You will develop an understanding of how pupils progress in their knowledge and understanding of multiplicative concepts
• You will work as part of a professional learning community to refine your practice
• You and your school leaders will develop Mastering Number at KS2 as part of the curriculum in Years 4 and 5

What is the cost?

This is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
