Numeracy and Mathsat Crown Primary What does it look like?
What happens when my child moves class/stage? AT THE END OF THE YEAR • At the end of the session teachers prepare notes to pass on to the receiving teacher(s) • The previous and new teachers get together for an oral pass on of information • All teachers share which parts of the curriculum have been taught
What happens when my child moves class/stage? AT THE START OF A NEW SESSION • In August teachers assess their own pupils using a baseline tool • Teachers look at groupings from previous session • Teachers look at what has been taught last session and find gaps in teaching and learning, comparing this to the baseline assessment data
Now we are ready! • At Crown we use the Scottish Heinemann Maths (SHM) scheme of work • Focus on the teaching of strategies • Practical activities • Textbook pages to help assess knowledge and understanding • Textbooks are numbered 1-7 but this does not correspond exactly to class stages e.g. book 1 is for P1 and P2, book 2 is for P2 and P3, book 3 is for P3 and P4, etc
What does a lesson look like? • The class will be grouped according to their academic ability (this could change depending on maths topic) and would ideally be into 3 groups but this depends on the spread of ability in the class • At the start of the lesson the teacher will begin a mental warm up and then introduce (refresh) the topic (e.g. fractions) • The pupils will go into their groups to complete their task(s) rotating around the stations set up • Working with the teacher • Textbook / written piece of work • Game to use and test skills (this could include using the computer) • Practical activity to practise skills/strategy
