Yorkshire Ridings Maths Hub

It's been a really busy week at the Yorkshire Ridings Maths Hub.

On Tuesday we hosted our third and final Strategic Board meeting of the school year, at our lead school Harrogate Grammar School.

We had a very full agenda but had some great discussions and also got to see some live maths lessons.

Special thanks to our Strategic Board members for their time and input.

Some of the Yorkshire Ridings Maths Hub Ops team attended the last 2025/26 Maths Hubs Operational Management Forum at STEM Learning yesterday, we had a great day.

All 40 Maths Hubs across England met regionally to collaborate, share effective practice, share experience and expertise, strengthen relationships and consider our role in developing mathematics education.

Thank you to the Maths Hubs in our region for open, honest and insightful conversations. We took so much away from the day, and we are excited to put it into practice. Thanks to the NCETM's Paul Traversh for joining our region for the day.

Knowledge of multiplication and division and its applications form the single most important aspect of the KS2 curriculum and is the gateway to success at secondary school.

The Mastering Number at KS2 project enables pupils in Years 4 and 5 to develop fluency in multiplication and division facts, and a confidence and flexibility with number that exemplifies good number sense.
