Mark Schemes for 2015 Maths SATS for levels 3-5 and level 6

These 36 resources are based on the Collins maths scheme, but are easily transferable to any week’s learning as they are based on new expectations for each group. Children stick these into their books at the start of the week’s learning journey and record at the end. I have chosen smiley faces as a sad, mixed and smiley can be too negative. I would suggest ways in which they can be used, though there will be more: 1. Either as a traffic light system, with children colouring them red, amber or green depending on how they see their progress, or 2. By adding hairs to the faces – 1 for not achieved, 2 for nearly and 3 for achieved. I have created the 36 lists for each year group if you want to see progression of skills. I am in the process of developing assessments sheets for each core statement as well.
