Using multiplication and division as a focus, this course will explore how concepts are built upon and how variation can be used to deepen children’s understanding.

Participants will practise breaking complex material into smaller steps and taking account of pupils’ prior knowledge when planning in the context of multiplication and proportional reasoning. 

Participants will explore how prior knowledge plays an important role in how pupils learn and progress through their mathematical understanding. Participants will leave with resources that can aid children’s understanding of multiplication and divisional relationships and other resources to help improve this understanding and develop fluency.
