Mastering Number Programme at Reception & KS1

We follow the NCTEM Mastering Number Programme in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense. The aim is that children will leave Key Stage 1 with fluency in calculation and confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future

In Reception, the Mastering Number Programme is taught within the continuous provision. In Year 1 and Year 2, the programme is taught daily, in addition to the Maths lessons.

 

Mastering Number Programme at KS2

Knowledge of multiplication and division and its applications forms the single most important aspect of the Key Stage 2 curriculum, and is the gateway to success at secondary school. The Mastering Number Programme 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.

In Year 4 and Year 5, the programme is taught daily, in addition to the Maths lessons.
