What is Key Skills at KS3?
Primary and secondary maths specialist, Kate Williams, has identified five critical objectives for each term in Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9.
There are starter ideas, ideas and support for using manipulatives at KS3, and exciting escape rooms to help you engage and focus every student on the key skills and content they need. They are available as interactive PDFs. You will find a Year 7 and 8 resource and a separate Year 9 resource for maximum flexibility across KS3.
