Multiplication and Division
Spine 2 of the Primary Mastery Professional Development Materials
Introduction
The Multiplication and Division spine is divided into 30 segments. For each of these segments we have produced a detailed teacher guide, including text and images.
The images are also presented as animated PowerPoint slides, which further enhance teacher knowledge and can be used in the classroom (for best results, please view these in ‘Slideshow’ view; for some slides, supporting notes are provided in the ‘Notes’ section).
These materials are not, in any way, lesson plans, but they can be used in conjunction with a high-quality mastery textbook to support planning.
The following PDF offers an overview of the complete Multiplication and Division spine, including a synopsis of each segment.
