Year 7

Start of Lesson Activities

All  year 7 classes should complete Numeracy Ninjas twice per week and a Weekly Skill Check (based on a previous topic taught) at least once per week.

Numeracy Ninjas

This is a whole dept push on developing students' fluency with: mental calculation strategies, timestables and the key skills required to access GCSE maths. All Year 7 lessons are to start by running Numeracy Ninjas.

Instructions for running Ninjas

Download the answers PowerPoint and store it locally in your profile so you don't have to download it each day.

Please log each students' highest score of the week using the following spreadsheet. 

Weekly Skill Checks

The purpose of the Weekly Skill Checks is to provide additional retrieval practice opportunities. These should be used on an at least weekly basis in lessons as a starter. Use WSCs so that they lag the teaching of the topic in class. There are 5 WSC for each umbrella topic. Additional WSCs can be set for homework, i.e. complete and bring to class to mark.
