A discussion around how learning about fractions builds across the four transition years from KS1 to KS2, set in a context of a Maths Hubs national project looking at continuity of maths learning generally from Year 5 to Year 8.

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.
