Example Working Out Sheets:

The working out example sheet is a gentle step by step guide as a ‘HOW 2’ start using squared paper to help add a whole bunch of money together and quickly and eventually in your head.

Differentiated Methods:

I use the words MUST, SHOULD and COULD - This is following the Moscow method but I have adapted to education.

Explain clearly to the children that by the end of the lesson that
ALL of them MUST have completed the Foundation * Level paper,
MOST of them SHOULD have completed the Foundation * and Intermediate ** Level papers, and
SOME of them COULD have completed all three, Foundation * , Intermediate ** and Advanced *** Level papers.

There may well be a FEW students who need more stimulation than all 18 problems, this is where you as the teacher can have fun making your own sheets using any online digital graphic design tool, it would be great to see how each person evolves the pack to meet your personalised needs and those for your students.

SEN groups that require teaching assistance, teachers, please let the TA’s know to encourage the students to do as much as they can on their own, but if they do desperately need support just remind the TA’s to jot down a note with the letter ‘S’ next to any problem that the student didn’t do independently - this stands for ‘SUPPORTED WORK,’ this helps to get a quick overview of what they didn’t understand.

I hope this may workout for you, I’m well aware that x6 problems for the foundation level paper may not be enough, but this is to encourage the child to move on to the next level and the next, giving them an opportunity to push themselves and not stay ‘safe’, but obviously if you feel your students may need more foundation level problems to solve, again this is where it’s great fun to make your own!

All the BEST!
