1. Developing A Purposeful Approach To Delivering Level 6 Mathematics Within Primary Schools Aiming High – Achieving Level 6 In Mathematics Course Presenter – Dave Rowe

2. Course Objectives To discuss the Level 6 teaching programme in mathematics and explore links to the current Year 6 objectives To practise and embed key Level 5 & 6 number skills, especially the links between fractions, decimals and percentages, and the emphasis on algebraic thinking To explore the ‘new’ topic areas in mathematics that are introduced at Level 6, and how these can be developed with pupils To begin planning a programme of support to challenge and inspire pupils working towards Level 6 in mathematics

3. Overview Of The Day (i) Overview of L6 – extensions of L5 and new topics Session 1 – Algebraic Thinking: - –Nth terms –Linear equations –Graphs and statements Session 2 – Number: - –Fractions, Decimals, Percentages Session 3 – Shape, Space, Measure & Data –Angles –Volume –Data Handling
