Year 5 – 8 Continuity

Work Groups in this project aim to strengthen the transition from primary to secondary school by focusing on curriculum and pedagogical continuity over Years 5 to 8.

Work Groups in this project focus on curriculum and pedagogical continuity over Years 5 to 8. Participants will explore a selection of high-quality resources: Checkpoints, Multiplicative Reasoning and Algebraic Thinking materials.

A lesson study approach is encouraged, where all participants focus on a particular aspect of the maths curriculum and work collaboratively to develop this their schools. Cross-phase classroom observation and discussion of practice are encouraged wherever possible.

This project is for both primary and secondary schools. It may be particularly suitable for linked ‘families’ of schools; primary, secondary, etc. A ‘family’ could be a secondary school and their associated (feeder) primary schools or groups of schools within a MAT.

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