Springboard 5: Catch-up programme for children in Year 5

Audience:	Key Stage 2 teachers
Date of issue:	Sep. 2000
Reference number:	DFEE0151/2000

What is it?

These materials have been based on tried and tested weekly units of work originally developed by the Hamilton Maths Project and used successfully in schools in the Oxford Education Action Zone.Some changes have been made to cater for national dissemination but the mathematical content and approach to teaching remain essentially the same.

Springboard 5 is for use in Year 5. It is intended specifically for children who, without extra help, are likely to achieve level 3 in mathematics by the end of Key Stage 2. Its main aims are:

to support the identified children and to tackle their weaknesses in mathematics so that they are in a better position to access the Year 5 and 6 teaching programmes;
to set the expectation that these children will catch up with their peers and achieve level 4 at the end of Key Stage 2;
to help teachers to prepare a teaching programme that enables the children to benefit fully from the main teaching programme for Year 5 as soon as possible.
