Ten Minute Maths Assessments Tests 6-7
Ten Minute MathsAssessments closely matches the Primary framework and also ties inextremely well with the Williams interim review which states 'A renewedand sharper focus on the use of mental mathematics would be beneficial,and would particularly help under-attaining groups of children'. Thetests are quick and easy to administer and would provide a 'snap shot'of where each pupil is - perfect for on-going periodic assessmentintroduced as part of APP.
Andrew has analysed the PrimaryMathematics framework carefully and worked out the number of learningobjectives that can be successfully tested in each year group. Bytaking the framework and breaking it down into small 'steps forlearning' each test focuses on what the pupils are actually learning inclass. The teacher can then give the test to a group of pupils, whohave been working on one of these steps, to monitor their progress. Theteacher records the results on the assessment grid and, over a periodof time, builds a clear picture of each pupil's NC level. This approachis very much the thrust of the latest developments in assessment:Assessment for Learning, Assessing Pupils' Progress, etc.
