Continuity in fractions learning between Year 5 and Year 8

34 minutes

A discussion around how learning about fractions builds across the four transition years from KS2 to KS3, set in a context of a Maths Hubs national project looking at continuity of maths learning generally from Year 5 to Year 8.

Show notes:

Taking part in the discussion are:

Nicki Ashton, primary maths consultant in the London Borough of Wandsworth, and also leading a Work Group for the London South West Maths Hub.

Alison Hopper, one of the NCETM’s Assistant Directors for primary maths.

Robert Wilne, maths lead for a family of primary and secondary schools in London and Kent, and leading Work Groups for two London Maths Hubs.

Steve McCormack, NCETM Communications Director.

You can find articles on the same theme as this podcast in two NCETM publications: Robert Wilne wrote about continuity in learning about subtraction in the January 2018 Primary Magazine. The January issue of the Maths Hubs newsletter, Bespoke, featured a breakdown of what incremental fractions learning might look like from Year 5 to Year 8.
