NCETM - EXEMPLIFICATION OF READY-TO-PROGRESS CRITERIA
A suite of 79 PowerPoints, each one focusing on one of the ready-to-progress criteria in the new DfE Primary mathematics national curriculum guidance for key stages 1 and 2
These PowerPoints, which will be added over the coming weeks, include links to relevant resources and pupil-facing activities. They are ideal to be used with small groups of pupils to support review, practice, and consolidation.
The pupil activities are intended to stimulate interaction and discussion. We suggest you use them flexibly and are guided by pupils' response, repeating activities where pupils lack confidence. When using these for Covid curriculum recovery or at the start of a year, you should use the materials from the previous year group. If you are teaching Year 4 for example, the Year 3 materials are used to review, practice and consolidate learning from the previous year. The ready-to-progress criteria are intended as goals for the end of the year.
