White Rose maths Y1-6 unit cover sheets with small steps for children's book

(0)
This is the full school set of cover sheets for all year group topics. These can be glued into the children’s book before each topic starts. Great for Ofsted and we use them to mark out interventions for TAs in the small steps. Each maths area has its own border, eg, length is tape measures and place value has colourful numbers. I have left them as a word document so you can edit to suit your school. As i have uploaded it to a new computer, the school font has not been recognised so you will need to change the font and ensure each unit is on a new page. The title is the unit topic, then the White Rose small steps for that unit are below, a box for a before and after test results and a box at the bottom for the children to reflect on their learning within the topic. You can edit the boxes or wording, even the image around the edge if you like (it is a watermark under the design tab in word).
