UPDATED for 2018-2019 - ALL EVIDENCE SHEETS MATCHED TO NEW FRAMEWORK
These activities are design to provide evidence for all ‘3’ levels’ of the Teacher Assessment of the KS1 Maths Curriculum.
Each objective on the Teacher Assessment Framework has an activity, in line with exemplar materials provided by the DfE, that the children can complete to prove their abilities.
There are 3 variations of each activity to enable children who are unsuccessful the first time they complete the work to revisit using different numbers. These are marked by a different character in each corner of the sheet. If tasks have been recommended, then there is also a task card that can be printed (colour or black and white) for the children to work through and a record sheet to accompany it.
All are labelled to make record keeping easier, there is a record sheet which teachers can complete but also give a fun element for children to colour upon completion.
These sheets provide a great evidence log for moderation and the children love working on their ‘log jobs’.
Sheets are bright, colourful and feature high quality clip arts to ensure children are engaged with the activities.
These activities are intended to be used as morning work. This pack is aimed at the children working towards the expected standard, questions are the same but using numbers to 30.
They require the children to use the basic skills covered in the Place Value and Addition and Subtraction Units of the Year 2 maths curriculum.
There are 7 mats - one per week for a half term. Also included are printable certificates to reward beating a previous weeks score or for getting all correct. There is also an editable record sheet intended to make patterns in lack of understanding more obvious.
Finally, links to the National Curriculum learning objectives are given for each of the questions.
