Finding the gaps
Description
This four part series follows a teacher using the pilot version of Assessing Pupils Progress with for her KS2 primary maths classes. In this episode we see how Jackie Nicholls, deputy headteacher of Dickens Heath Primary School, Solihull, is assessing six of her pupils understanding of key maths terminology. Note that current advice is that schools should apply APP to all their pupils rather than the benchmark process, and to capture and identify smaller amounts of evidence than Jackie does in this programme.The children in Jackie's Year 5 class begin to show their independent thinking in a cross-curricular art and maths lesson; and she gathers some insightful evidence when she challenges the pupils with some real life maths tasks outside the classroom. APP specialists Donna Wright and Louise Burnett review Jackie's assessment and discover one of her pupils is greatly exceeding her expectations.We also get tips from teachers with experience of the APP pilot on assessing gaps.
