Mastering Number KS2
Supporting pupils to develop good number sense in multiplicative relationship

​

 

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 thatexemplifies 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.

Who can take part?
This Work Group is open to all schools participating in Teaching for Mastery Work Groups. Lead participants from WorkGroup schools will be two teachers – one each from Year 4 and Year 5. Support will also be given to maths leads and headteachers. There are limited places so each Maths Hub will use set criteria to  allocate spaces to this Work Group

​

What will you learn?

Pupils will: 

• develop automaticity in multiplication and division facts through regular practice 

• gain confidence and flexibility with number that exemplifies good number sense when looking at the multiplicative relationship
