Springboard 6: Lessons for use in booster classes

What is it?

Springboard 6 is a series of lessons designed to provide additional support in booster classes for children in Year 6 who, with intensive targeted support, can achieve level 4 in the Key Stage 2 national tests. The 22 half-hour lessons are designed for use during the spring term of Year 6.

The lessons can be used alongside, and in addition to the work being planned in the daily mathematics lessons for that term. The lessons follow closely the sequence of topics identified by the units in the Year 6 yearly teaching programme set out in the National Numeracy Strategy’s Framework for teaching mathematics from Reception to Year 6. They address a number of aspects of mathematics that the target group of children finds difficult.
