In Key Stage 1, the aim is to provide a firm foundation in mathematics for all pupils. The needs of able pupils are best served through an accelerated programme, spending the same amount of time as other pupils, but going further with each topic. This approach should be supplemented by a more investigative approach to learning. The table below shows how part of an autumn term plan for an 'average' Year 2 class has been modified to cater for able pupils, by including objectives from the teaching programmes for Years 3 and 4. Each unit of work concentrates on the same topic to help you to manage the necessary differentiation. Enrichment activities encourage pupils to develop their skills in problem solving and reasoning. The suggestions in the plan below have been drawn from the puzzles and problems.
