*NEW* Developing Fluency with Multiplicative Reasoning at KS3 (Year 7) Work Group

Strengthen understanding and confidence in a key area of the KS3 maths curriculum

What is involved?

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.

The centrally-produced resources are designed to support effective teaching of Multiplicative Reasoning through a series of core structures, laying foundations in Year 7 and then building on these within the Year 8 resources (in 2026/27). Our Work Group focuses on Year 7 content and is open to all secondary schools.

 

What are the benefits?

  • You will strengthen students’ reasoning, fluency and confidence with multiplicative reasoning
  • You will explore key structures and strategies for teaching multiplicative reasoning across KS3
  • You will work with colleagues to plan and reflect on coherent, high-quality lessons
  • You will improve understanding of how to support all students to think and communicate
    mathematically
  • You will have access to high-quality classroom resources and guidance to ensure secure
    foundations for GCSE study

 

What are the expectations?

Participants are expected to attend the equivalent of three full days of workshops, and to complete school-based tasks between sessions. Workshops will be a blend of national and local sessions, and online and in-person provision. 

For all participant schools there is also an expectation that the subject leader participates in a subject leader community

 

Who can apply?

This opportunity is for secondary schools in England. Each school nominates two KS3 teachers, including at least one experienced teacher. It is suitable for those who want to improve their own teaching and support improvements across their department.

 

What is the cost?

The Developing Fluency with Multiplicative Reasoning at KS3 Work Group is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
