    Who can take part?

    • Complete school-based tasks between sessions. 

    • Teachers should generalise and embed pedagogical strategies explored in the project across their wider practice. 

    • Centrally-produced resources focus on foundational mathematical understanding, building on KS2 knowledge and preparing students for KS3. 

    • Resources include classroom-facing slides and teacher guidance.
