Used by over a thousand schools in the UK already, and others abroad, this great resource is written to make mastering the Y6 Maths basic skills as simple as possible. Aim: To ensure good pupil progress against their relevant age-related PoS. Pupils take the Weekly Basic Skills Check once a week (there are 15 of these - with answers) using a positive ‘beat your own score’ approach. It takes approximately 30 minutes. Pupils are allowed to use their Pupil Prompts in order to encourage independent learning and the teacher/TA can assist those who need it and remind others of their target questions. (There is a number reference to the appropriate prompt found where the pupils are asked to record their answers.) There are 25 questions on a single sheet of A4 which cover the vast majority of the key skills for the relevant year. The weekly repetition ensures that basic skills are internalized rather than forgotten over time. Children can track their own scores and progress on their Weekly Record Sheet and SEE the progress they are making which is highly motivational. For one session per week, the teacher goes through that week’s Skills Check and tries to address common misconceptions. Better to cover well a small number of criteria per week than try to cover too many. This is the strength of regular repetition, allowing concepts to be revisited when necessary. A pupil and class tracking sheet allows you to record your classes’ weekly Maths Weekly Skills scores and colour code them using a traffic light highlighting system. This provides a strong visual record to inform teaching and demonstrate pupil progress over time.
