Spaces available for booking

This work group will consist of 3 sessions. Participants must attend all sessions. Dates are as follows:

17th October 2025

28th January 2026

26th March 2026

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 Work Group focuses on Year 7 content and is open to all secondary schools.

What will you learn?

• 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
