Mastering Number at KS2

This project enables students 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.

The project offers schools that are involved in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1, and are also in a Sustaining Work Group, the opportunity for teachers to develop the knowledge and skills to secure firm foundations for their pupils in multiplicative relationships. The aim over time is that all children will leave KS2 with fluency in multiplication and division facts, and a confidence and flexibility with number that exemplifies good number sense when looking at the multiplicative relationship. Attention will be given to the key knowledge and understanding needed in Year 4 and Year 5 to support future progression.

  • 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.

This project is for schools that are already involved in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1, and will also be in a Sustaining Teaching for Mastery Work Group in 23/24.

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