Introduction

RAINING

(Raising achievement in numeracy)

 

The Primary Maths Grid+ project is designed to provide you with a substantial bank of activities for teaching mathematics.

There are various ways of working with the materials:

  • You can employ the material to create an environment in which the children use the maths that they know by working independently.
  • You can use the activities as the main part of one or several lessons on a topic.
  • You can select the correct units of work to fit into an oasis/assessment week.
  • You can edit some aspects of it to use as models for your own material - for example by copying and then changing or developing the activities.
  • You can add links to other resources that you already have stored electronically - perhaps those digital pictures from your last class visit which you would like a new class to see so that they can generate questions to be answered when they go to the same site, or examples of good work produced last year which can be used to raise pupils’ expectations of what they can do.

Classroom organisation:

  • Use the plan to work through over an extended period of time i.e. a whole day.

  • Use it for the basis of a series of lessons within a week.

  • Take ideas for individual lessons.

  • Use it as the basis for extended individual project work over a period of weeks.

  • Enable individual children to work independently.
