Strengthen understanding and confidence in a key area of the KS3 (Year 7 and Year 8) maths curriculum

 

This opportunity focuses on supporting students to develop a deep and connected understanding of multiplicative reasoning.

 

Working in a professional learning community, teachers will explore effective ways to teach multiplicative reasoning, share strategies and use carefully-designed classroom resources and guidance materials to improve their teaching.

 

One Work Group focuses on Year 7 content and is open to all secondary schools. A second Work Group, focused on Year 8 content, is for schools that took part in the Year 7 Work Group in 2024/25.
