This set of intervention materials is designed for use with students who would benefit from securing their understanding of key aspects of the maths curriculum. Originally produced with KS2-3 transition in mind, these resources have been used from KS2 to 5.
The materials support engaging activities for use in 1 to 1 support or with small groups. The six units cover:
- Place value
- Measures
- 2D Shape
- Fractions, decimals and percentages
- Mental calculations
- Representing problems
Each unit includes printable resources for a sequence of activities involving loop/follow me games, sets of cards to match, and games to be played in pairs. There’s also a guide for the person leading the intervention, with detailed notes on each of the activities.
Most units start with a loop activity that assesses where students are starting in the unit. The loop activity is then repeated at the end of the unit to show the progress made.
The resources are introduced in a separate voiced presentation, which also explains how they can be used with students in Key Stages 2-4, Functional Skills Mathematics, and resit GCSE Mathematics. It is accompanied by a spreadsheet which shows how each of the materials links to the curricula requirements.
