Primary Round-up May 2021

May's Primary Round-up looks at Year 6 transition in this unusual year. After much disrupted schooling, and with no SATs this year, how can teachers use the time to aid a smooth transition in maths?

• What shall we do with Year 6 this term? We find out what other teachers are considering
• Ready for secondary school maths? – Building a picture of your cohort's maths experience
• CPD for improving transition – join the Maths Hubs Years 5-8 Continuity project and work with secondary colleagues
• Calculator Crunch! – MEI's annual online puzzles help pupils become familiar with their calculators
• Maths in the world of work videos – each explains how someone uses maths in their job, and there are accompanying KS2 activities.
