This is an excellent resource of the old level descriptors pupils have to meet/fulfill in KS3 Maths. It’s very useful in helping teachers formatively assess pupils’ progress and acts as a aid for self and peer assessment. Each level is structured by clear outcomes of operations and activities across all 4 areas (number, geometry, algebra, data handling) students must be able to complete to meet the criteria for achieving the level. As well as boosting cross-curricular links I also used this resource as a poster/wall display and a handout for pupils to self and peer assess their progress.
