Mastering Number at Reception & Key Stage 1

This project aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 & Year 2.

The key benefits are:

• Your pupils will develop and demonstrate good number sense
• You will develop a secure understanding of how to build firm mathematical foundations
• You will work to develop intentional teaching strategies focused on developing fluency in calculation and number sense for all children
• You will develop understanding and use of appropriate manipulatives to support your teaching of mathematical structures

We are thrilled to announce that our hub has been chosen to be part of an EEF trial which will look closely at the impact of this programme on teachers and pupils in the Reception year. The trial will be a Randomised Control Trial (RCT) which will help us to understand how best our activity helps all students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, achieve a deep understanding of school mathematics. 

Please complete our Expression of Interest form by clicking the link above in order to receive next steps in the process and the School Information Sheet. The document provides important information about the trial – including a list of eligibility criteria – and should be read thoroughly. More information can also be found on the NCETM website. 

Mastering Number at Key Stage 2

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.

• 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
