Mastering Number: Rekenrek is used in Reception, year 1, 2, 4 and 5. For KS1, this project aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.

For KS2, knowledge of multiplication and division forms the single most important aspect of the KS2 curriculum. Mastering Number enables year 4 and 5 to develop fluency in multiplication and division facts, and a confidence and flexibility with number that exemplifies good number sense. 

Children will complete this either four or five days a week, for 10 - 15 minutes.
