Kent Maths HUB Primary Project - Mathematical Reasoning Project

The Kent and Medway Maths Hub is seeking local primary schools to participate in a national research project to measure the effectiveness of a programme of teaching for Year 2 children designed to promote children’s quantitative reasoning - understanding the relations between numbers and being able to use them to solve problems. The project, using materials designed by researchers at Oxford University and funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is being run in eight Maths Hubs areas and coordinated by the NCETM. Kent and Medway is one of the eight Maths Hubs participating.

In this larger scale project, at Kent and Medway Maths Hub, we seek to recruit 20 primary schools to participate in the project, which will run during the school year 2016/2017. Once the 20 schools have been selected, half will be chosen at random to receive the teaching intervention, the other half will carry on teaching as usual. This group will receive training and the materials for use during the school year 2017/2018.

Next steps

Please complete and return the Expression of Interest form to the Kent and Medway Maths Hub by 28 April 2016.
