Introduction

Welcome to this CD-based resource. The materials are designed to help you ensure that, in mathematics, Year 5 and Year 6 children progress from level 3 to level 4 by the end of Key Stage 2. Increasing numbers of children are achieving level 4, but some children still meet barriers in their learning that slow or block their progress. The materials on the CD provide teaching resources and ideas upon which you can draw when planning additional support for those children. This CD is the first of similarly focused intervention materials that are to be developed for mathematics. We hope that you will find these materials useful when planning your teaching to help children working around the level 3 to level 4 border make good progress.

What mathematics appears on the CD?

The materials address key areas of mathematics that Year 5 and Year 6 children working at level 3 often find challenging: the areas of mathematics in which children need additional support to help them maintain progress over Key Stage 2. While the CD includes all the Year 5 and Year 6 learning objectives for mathematics, not all these objectives have materials to support them, only those that have been identified as common barriers to progress.

How were the areas of mathematics identified?

The decision as to which areas of mathematics to include on the CD was informed by a scrutiny of test scripts of children whose attainment fell below, but was close to, the level 4 boundary. This analysis was supported by evidence from other sources. It drew on QCA reports, research evidence and feedback from teachers and consultants. This evidence pointed to a number of common barriers in mathematics that often prevent children from making progress. These are the areas of mathematics that appear on the CD – the bits of mathematics children find difficult to learn, which are often the bits that are more difficult to teach.

How do I access the materials?

The materials on the CD are accessed through the learning objectives for mathematics as set out in the Primary Framework. The objectives are organised into the seven strands of the Framework to help you match them to the Unit of work you might be teaching. At the back of this booklet there is a sequence of charts that make links between level descriptions, common barriers to progress, the associated Year 5 and Year 6 objectives, and materials on the CD, with reference to the Blocks and Units within the Primary Framework. This provides a see-at-a-glance guide to support you in identifying key barriers in moving children from level 3 to level 4 and pinpointing where children are having difficulties and how to move them on.

The CD draws on existing materials, some of which can be found on the Primary Framework, and provides extra support and guidance on teaching approaches designed to support children in overcoming identified barriers to progress.

Who are these materials aimed at?

The materials are designed to be used flexibly and as appropriate for your planning and teaching context. There are aspects that require intervention by you, as the teacher, drawing on your knowledge of the children’s progress in mathematics, for example, when using the ‘Can I…?’ prompts and review questions to pinpoint

barriers to progress. After the barriers to learning have been identified, other elements might be used by a teaching assistant or additional adults to support learning, or might provide a focus for targeted booster support. These materials could be used with an individual child or with a group of children who share similar barriers to progress.

The materials are designed to be used with children who are at risk of not making the necessary progress to move from level 3 to secure level 4 and therefore not meeting age-related expectations by the end of Year 6.

How do the materials link to the Primary Framework?

The structure of the CD follows that of the Framework, with the strands and objectives providing the way into the ‘Can I…?’ questions and related teaching materials and resources. The grids at the end of this booklet show how these objectives fit into the Blocks and Units structure of the Framework, where further materials including ‘I can…’ targets and AfL prompts can be found.

How are the CD materials structured?

The entry point to access the materials has been aligned to six of the seven strands of mathematics used in the Primary Framework. The Using and applying mathematics strand is embedded in the materials rather than identified as a separate set of ‘Can I...?’ questions. This is to place the use and application of mathematics at the heart of the teaching and learning cycles to ensure that children have sufficient opportunity to apply their learning – and that the learning is sufficiently secure to enable them to use their mathematics in new contexts and make connections across their learning.

How should I use the materials on the CD?

The first step in using the CD is to carry out an assessment of the children’s learning to identify where support is needed. Select the objective linked to an identified barrier to learning for an individual or group of pupils. Then select the relevant ‘Can I…?’ question linked to this barrier. The tables on the next few pages explain the structure of screens on the CD and the linked resources.

Contents of the CD

From your tracking of pupil progress and ongoing assessment you will have identified potential barriers to learning. The Example review questions provide support for confirming that this area is a barrier to learning for your children and identifying any specific misconceptions. The questions might be used as starting points for discussion with small groups or individuals. Depending upon the area of mathematics, they include suggestions for timed questions, closed and open-ended questions, and questions requiring the use of practical equipment such as a counting stick or set of digit cards.

The Teaching guidance provides background information about appropriate vocabulary, models and images, and teaching approaches. The list of vocabulary is a useful reference point for key vocabulary that children need to be able to use and explain. The models and images are drawn from a variety of sources including the former unit plans, intervention materials and interactive teaching programs, and often include some suggestions for their use. The Teaching tips section provides a few starting points for tackling the area of mathematics with children, ways of linking concepts with other areas of the curriculum, or ways of overcoming misconceptions.

The Consolidation and practice pages provide links to a variety of existing resources that can be used by children within guided or independent work.

The ICT resources include interactive teaching programs (ITPs) and spreadsheets. Where the ITP guide symbol appears, this links to a guidance document to support the use of ITPs. Further ITPs can be found in the library of the Framework website at www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primaryframeworks/library/Mathematics/ICTResources/itps/

Also linked to these pages are intervention materials drawn from Springboard 5, 6 and 7 packages and the Wave 3 ‘Supporting children with gaps in their mathematical understanding’ materials. In line with the Primary Framework, these materials have been linked where they could help children to overcome barriers to progress in a specific area of mathematics.

The Opportunities to use and apply pages give suggestions for how children might make use of a specific area of mathematics. This includes three key areas: applying understanding within a reasoning context (e.g. using knowledge of counting forwards/backwards to explain the rule for a sequence), applying within other areas of mathematics (e.g. using the ability to multiply and divide by 10 and 100 to work out conversions between units of measure) and finally, using and applying mathematics across the curriculum and within out-of-school contexts.

00695-2007BKT-EN Overcoming barriers in mathematics – helping children move from level 3 to level 4© Crown copyright 2007 Primary National Strategy 9

The Confirming learning section for each ‘Can I…?’ question provides questions, prompts and activities to probe children’s understanding. These can be adapted to be used as assessment activities for individuals or small groups in order to assess whether progress has been made in this area of mathematics.

What is available to help me build the materials into my planning?

On the next few pages is a set of see-at-a-glance charts to help you to carry out your assessments and to plan appropriate learning and teaching. The level 3 and level 4 descriptions for the Number and algebra, Shape, space and measures and Handling data attainment targets are listed, together with the difficulties that the range of analyses has identified as most common in limiting children’s progress from level 3 to level 4. Following the level descriptions for each attainment target are charts with the learning objectives for Years 5 and 6 taken from the relevant strands that can be used to inform your planning. These have the appropriate ‘Can I …?’ questions that appear on the CD aligned to the objectives. The ‘Can I …?’ questions might be shared with the children as part of the assessment process, inviting them to identify the mathematics they can do in the context of the question and what they still find difficult. They might also be turned into ‘I can…’ statements to generate curricular targets, using the materials on the CD and the Framework to draw together success criteria to share and discuss with the children.
