Maths assessment: Key Stage 2

Aimed at teachers, this book on maths assessment, is intended to assist and support teachers in observing, analysing, describing and documenting individual children's achievement.The two main functions are diagnostic (assessment for the purpose of planning instruction for individual needs) and celebratory (documenting each pupil's progress and strengths).SPA Maths Assessment KS2 will broadly follow the structure of the literacy titles.

The activities will systematically address the maths PoS, and progress according to the level descriptions.

Some of the activities will be differentiated by outcome, while other more closed activities will be presented at several levels of difficulty.

Throughout, MAL (Using and applying Maths) is highlighted for each activity.

To accommodate all the UK maths curricula, the chapters will cover number, money and algebra, handling data, shape and space and measures.The activities will range from closed to open, mental to concrete representation, individual to whole class, and include some self assessment and discussion record sheets.

The text is also suitable for Scottish Levels C-E.
