Year 7 Intervention

This page describes the full range of publications to support the intervention strategy and the Year 7 Key Stage 3 strategy for mathematics. The first part of Targeting level 4 in Year 7 comprises twelve consolidation lessons and later parts include lessons to be used during Year 7. They give teachers guidance on teaching key topics necessary for pupils to attain level 4 in mathematics and uses Springboard 7 as a resource.

It also includes the Mathematics challenge pack, these materials are designed to be used on a one to one basis and support schools in recruiting, training and organising parents, mentors and volunteers who will coach pupils in aspects of mathematics.

Mental Mathematics at level 5

Almost all of mathematics could be described as mental in the sense that engaging in a mathematical task involves thinking. Thus every mathematical problem a pupil tackles must involve several stages of mental mathematics. The 'mental mathematics' supported through the teaching approaches described here is aimed at a subset of mental mathematics in its broadest sense. We have selected a few key areas likely to influence pupils' progress beyond level 5. The activities are designed to be used in the main part of a lesson to engage pupils in group work and mathematical talk.
