Transition Project for years 5 – 8
Y5-8 Continuity
The project aims to improve communication between Key Stages 2
and 3 by taking an aspect of the mathematics curriculum or a
pedagogical approach as the focus for the work.
Teachers from different phases work together collaboratively to
develop a consistent approach to their chosen aspect through discussion,
joint lesson design and delivery, observation and the development of
documentation to support continuity. As a result, channels of communication are established and there is an increased focus on curriculum and pedagogical continuity at key transition points which supports children as they move from KS2 to KS3.
Target Audience
The participants will be a mix of teachers from secondary schools and primary schools, ideally where the schools are linked locally.
Maximum 2 participants per school.

Target Audience: This project is aimed at schools who are already committed to teaching for mastery and have previously engaged in a TfM development workgroup
Programme Outline:
The Work Group in this project will start by exploring best practice in Early Years and how the principles might build a secure foundation in mathematics for transition into a teaching for mastery approach in Year 1.
