Overcoming barriers in mathematics
These materials are designed to help Year 5 and Year 6 teachers ensure their children make secure progress from Level 3 to Level 4. The CD focuses on aspects of mathematics that are frequently encountered areas of difficulty – those bits of mathematics children find hard to learn.
The materials are organised under the seven strands for mathematics set out in the Framework.
They focus on the following cycle:
Review – focused questions to help assess current understanding
Teach – direct teaching, practical activities, models and images,
mathematical vocabulary
Practise – opportunity to consolidate understanding
Apply – alternative contexts within which learning can be used and
applied
Review – probing questions to establish learning is secure
