KS1 Maths Pioneers

KS1 Maths Club
A fresh and innovative club starting in January to trial an engaging game based approach to maths assesment.
 
 
What is it?
 Children will be challenged and 'pitted' against each other to answer on multiplication, addition and subtraction of increasing difficulty. They can decide between easy or difficult questions with  students being rewarded for answering the more difficult worksheets.
 
Teacher made to meet the new curriculum!    
The paper based game has been designed by Mr Pawley based on the New National Maths Curriculum and set to meet the Assessment Principles set by the government. The game scales with the end of year targets from Year 1 to Year 4 and aims to provide an innovative method of assessment that children will enjoy.
 
Who is it for?
 Year 1 and 2 students willing to test their maths ability. Only a select few will be chosen!
 
When is it?
 Twice a week; once at Wednesday lunchtime and once after school, the day will be decided after the students have been chosen depending on when they are available.
 
 
Children will be asked the week starting 5th January if they are interested and the club will start within the next 2 weeks. Please see Mr Pawley for more information.
