Aims of the Presentation : 

Aims of the Presentation To outline context of CEC Mathematics Programmes of Study To describe the new developments at Level D/E and B/C To involve participants in identifying the use in S1, S2

Background : 

Background Funded by the authority to Support Schools in securing improvement Raise pupils attainment in 5-14 mathematics Enhance continuity and progression across transition points (stage to stage, school to school including placing requests)

Rationale : 

Rationale Features Beyond the minimum requirements of the 5-14 Mathematics guidelines Take account of more recent advice provided by HMIe, AAP and TIMMS surveys. Originated in requests from primary and secondary schools Substantial commitment on implementation from Primary schools in Year 1 and preparation / liaison from Secondary staff.

Attainment Context : 

Attainment Context CEC Reading Scores above Scotland Reading scores CEC Writing scores above Scotland Writing Scores CEC Maths below Scotland Maths Scores

Progress in Meeting Expected 5-14 Levels : 

Progress in Meeting Expected 5-14 Levels

Continuity and Progression : 

Continuity and Progression Future learning built on secure foundations Introduction of Level B and C programme of studies Confirmation of attainment by National assessments at the completion of a level Record sheet of pupil attainment in assessments to be passed on at Transition Points Extended assessment material to be developed ?

Learning and Teaching : 

Learning and Teaching Professional Judgement End of unit assessments to be used diagnostically Electronic ‘traffic light record sheet’ now available Methodology mental agility, problem solving, formative assessment strategies, advice in Learning for All and ICT Mental agility, problem solving and ICT support material will be further developed

Generic Programme Programme matched to Core resources of 10-14 Pack, LRC Problem Solving, TENS, SHM and Heinemann End of unit assessments Transition Record Notes for teachers on using the programmes Pupil Self Evaluation Sheets Separate page for Mental Maths Planning Cross References to Total Numeracy

Seconded Staff to Support The Schools : 

Seconded Staff to Support The Schools Cluster support and co-ordination Easing the transition process Enhancing existing material Source of feedback on development Direct Classroom Support Release of teaching staff Resource organisation ICT support

Schools without Cluster Secondee Support : 

Schools without Cluster Secondee Support All schools have been kept informed with new material Direct support for transition issues from Fiona Robertson QIO Maths and Computing; Peter Gorrie QIO; Denise Blair PT Mathematics Craigmount High School Cluster secondees likely to be available next session
