At Spetisbury Primary School fluency will take part daily at the start of each Maths lesson. Each year group will use the ready-to-progress criteria to develop automaticity. Pupils should be able to choose and use efficient calculation methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They must also have automatic recall of a core set of multiplicative and additive facts to enable them to focus on learning new concepts.
