Supporting the Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 transition in Maths
At Pearson we know that one of the biggest challenges is the transition from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3.
Knowing what pupils have been taught at primary school is key to a continuous approach and embedding mastery principles. Bridging the gaps between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3, without losing engagement, is essential for giving the best preparation for progressing to GCSE study and beyond.
Take a look at the full range of support for the Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 transition in Maths below.
