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

Using the materials

The materials provide considerable support for each weekly unit of work. You will, however, need to take into account the responses of your children and adjust your teaching according to the progress they make. Individual children are, of course, not necessarily at the same level of attainment in all their mathematical work and will need more help and opportunities for consolidation in some areas than in others. The materials will not do all your preparation for you, but should give you a firm structure for your teaching.

The video sequences

The video sequences show ways in which you might approach Springboard 5 lessons. They show how the material to be taught should be broken down into small steps and demonstrate appropriate lines of questioning. The lessons are based on the same teaching objectives as the lead lessons and the content is very similar. They have been slightly amended, where necessary, to meet the specific needs of the children being filmed.

The National Numeracy Strategy is indebted to colleagues and children who made arrangements for, and took part in, the filming from the Hamilton Oxford schools Partnership, Birmingham LEA and Highfield Junior and Infant School.
