This page has several useful resources to help in understanding progression in Mathematics. The links are also available in this Evernote notebook or alternatively a Diigo list (the green links take you directly to each site). (You do not need an account with either – but both are excellent!)
I have provided some links for students here.
- The focused assessment materials make it clear what students should be able to do and give probing questions.
- The progression maps describe progression in each strand of the framework and offer examples and probing questions.
- Various nrich resources such as the excellent curriculum mapping documents which link topics to nrich problems and an article by Jennifer Piggott which addresses the use of NRICH resources to support assessment of progress.
- Posters provide simple descriptions of requirements for each level or grade (11-16)
- Exemplification examples: these illustrate what pupils should be able to do within a particular strand of objectives by the end of each year.
- The Kangaroo Maths site offers extensive resources including levelopaedias providing exemplifications and probing questions for each of the assessment criteria except ‘Using and Applying’. (Choose Kenny’s Pouch, then Assessment, then KS2/3).
- See also the ‘Convinced’ package from Kangaroo Maths which is a resource package based on the assessment criteria from Levels 4 to 8. Each set of questions includes a self assessment for students.
- ‘Stick on the Maths’ from Glosmaths provides extensive activities for all assessment criteria in two versions – for IWB and worksheets. The easiest way to find this resource is to use the filters as follows:
Trying the filter recently something didn’t work – note this resource is currently on page 9, it is dated 21/05/2009.
