Transition
Recent research on transfer has identified the need for schools to work
more on curriculum continuity and to pay attention to academic transfer
and the specific strategies that help sustain pupils' progress.
Curriculum continuity refers to:
- Knowing which topics have already been covered.
- Knowing what skills and understandings have been established.
- Knowing the pace and style of previous lessons in the subject.
The framework for teaching mathematics from Reception to Year 6 and
the Framework for teaching mathematics: Yeas 7, 8 and 9, offer
a detailed effective progression through Key Stages 2 and 3. Reference
to the Frameworks is of utmost importance in developing continuity.
The materials produced by the NNS and the KS3 Strategy: Transition
from Years 6 to Years 7 – Mathematics units of work , provide units
of work which can be used to support effective transition on mathematics.
