Mastering Number at Reception and Key Stage 1 aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will focus on the key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception, and progression through KS1 to lay strong foundations for future learning.
Mastering Number at Key Stage 2 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.
