Secondary Strategy 4

Objectives

• To explore the materials available for a Year 9 intervention programme

• To consider the content for an intervention programme for pupils in Year 9 targeting level 5

• To consider how to integrate mathematical intervention materials into programmes of work

Secondary Strategy 4

Materials to support Year 9 pupils

• 10-4-10 (‘Ten-for-ten’) materials for holiday revision

• T5 (‘Targeting level 5’) materials

Secondary Strategy 4

T5 materials

• Snappers: starter activities targeting particular teaching objectives

• Add-ons: Key Stage 3 questions targeting specific topics

• Stingers: plenary and whole-class discussion activities around key questions

• Top Ten: short tests supporting mental arithmetic practice

• Year 9 intervention plan for the spring term

Secondary Strategy 4

Top Ten

• Three sets (X, Y, Z) of five tests, with 10 questions in each test

• Each test in a set practises the same ten areas of work – the same question number in each test is practice for the same objective

• Pupils mark each test and record their results on the grid provided

• Sitting, marking and recording the test should take only 10 minutes
