Numeracy Mrs Karen Hagenaars What do we use to plan and teach Mathematics? We use the National Numeracy Strategy for our objectives We use Abacus evolve to aid our planning and to enhance the teaching and learning of Mathematics at ISB
What is Abacus evolve? • It is the leading scheme for teaching Mathematics in the UK • It has won many national awards for the teaching and learning of Mathematics • It is interactive, differentiated and age appropriate for the individuals in our classes • It builds on the child´s knowledge and understanding year on year • It helps the teacher assess the individual needs of each child in their class
What can you do as parents to help your child? • Use mathematical language with your child in everyday situations. • Lots of practical learning through games, cooking and other fun activities. • Help your child to consolidate their learning through completing their homework. • Ensure that your child has a good understanding of the • mathematical vocabulary we use in school.
Literacy Mr Paul Wallace
Differentiation • Lessons planned to individual children • Children put into support/core/extension groups so lesson activities are appropriate • Child centred(beyond the groups children’s individual needs are catered for)
