Targeting level 4 in Year 7 Mathematics consolidation lessons This pack contains: brief guidance; 12 mathematics consolidation lessons targeted at Year 7 pupils working towards level 4. The pack supplements Springboard 7: a mathematics catch-up programme for pupils entering Year 7, issued 06/01, reference DfEE 0049/2001. Springboard 7 provides teaching points and materials to support pupils who entered Year 7 below level 4 in mathematics but who will, with additional support, attain level 4 by the end of the year. Why have the lessons been produced? Following the positive response from schools to Springboard 7, we have produced 12 consolidation lessons that focus on the topics that pupils find difficult and that are key to attaining level 4 in mathematics. These lessons also highlight the applications and understanding of mathematical ideas. All the lessons link with and some make use of Springboard 7 materials. The lessons also refer to the Framework for teaching mathematics: Years 7, 8 and 9. The format and style of lessons is similar to that in the Year 9 booster kit: mathematics, DfES 0015/2002, with which many teachers will be familiar. The lessons are available on the Standards website: www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/keystage3/strands/mathematics/ Copies of the OHTs and resource sheets are supplied on a CD. The objectives for the lessons are drawn from the yearly teaching programmes for mathematics and are listed below. 1 Place value, addition and subtraction Read and write whole numbers in figures and words, and know what each digit represents (Y5) Use known number facts and place value to consolidate mental addition/subtraction (Y6) Use standard column procedures to add and subtract whole numbers (Y7) 2 Multiplication Use informal pencil and paper methods to support, record or explain multiplications. Extend written methods (Y5, Y6) Multiply and divide integers and decimals mentally by 10, 100 and 1000, and explain the effect (Y7) 3 Using fractions Order fractions and position them on a number line (Y6) Calculate simple fractions of quantities and measurements (Y7) Use names and abbreviations of units of measurement (Y7) 5
4 Fractions and decimals Reduce a fraction to its simplest form by cancelling common factors in the numerator and denominator (Y6) Recognise the equivalence between the decimal and fraction forms (Y6) 5 Probability Use vocabulary and ideas of probability, drawing on experience (Y7) 6 Calculators Round positive whole numbers to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000 (Y7) Enter numbers (in a calculator) and interpret the display in different contexts (Y7) Carry out calculations with more than one step (Y7) Check a result by considering whether it is of the right order of magnitude (Y7) 7 Word problems Consolidate the rapid recall of multiplication facts up to 10 10, and quickly derive associated division facts (Y7) Solve word problems (Y7) Solve simple problems about ratio and proportion (Y7) 8 Interpreting data Extract and interpret data in tables, graphs, charts and diagrams (Y6) Interpret diagrams and graphs (including pie charts) and draw simple conclusions (Y7) 9 Shapes and angles Use correctly the vocabulary for lines, angles and shapes (Y7) Know the sum of angles at a point, on a straight line and in a triangle (Y7) 10 Coordinates and reflections Find coordinates of points determined by geometric information (Y7) Understand and use the language and notation associated with reflections (Y7) Recognise transformation and symmetry of a 2-D shape: reflection in given mirror lines and line symmetry (Y7) 11 Sequences Recognise and extend number sequences (Y6) Generate sequences from practical contexts (Y7) Recognise squares of numbers to at least 12 12 (Y7) 12 Perimeter and area Know and use the formula for the area of a rectangle; calculate the perimeter and area of shapes made from rectangles (Y7) Use names and abbreviations of units of measurement (Y7) 6
How should I use the lessons? These are consolidation lessons pupils will have met the topics before. You could use the lessons during the year as a key lesson to finish a topic or you may prefer to use them in the summer term in the run up to the progress test. If you use the lessons as a basis for new teaching and learning, a single lesson, with suitable additional examples, discussion and practice, will need to be spread over two or three sessions. Quick revision is no substitute for sound teaching throughout the year. Remember that none of these lessons can match your pupils needs exactly: they will need at least some modification. It is also important to both maintain and develop pupils mental mathematics skills. These are addressed in the starters in many of the lessons but mental skills should be used in all elements of the lessons. Many of the lessons incorporate Key Stage 3 test questions. It is a good idea to use such questions in your lessons during the year so that pupils become familiar with the style of questions and the standard required to achieve level 4. Previous tests on CD-ROM Previous years end of Key Stage tests are available on the Testbase CD-ROM produced by QCA/Doublestruck. This can be obtained from Testbase, PO Box 208, Newcastle on Tyne, NE3 1FX; tel 0870 9000 402; fax 0870 9000 403; www.testbase.co.uk. The CD-ROM is supplied free of charge. Individual Key Stage subjects are accessed using registration codes, at a cost of 25 per subject. Some LEAs have purchased a licence. Preparing pupils for the Year 7 progress tests The Year 7 progress tests in mathematics are available from the QCA and will consist of two written papers and a mental mathematics paper. Each written paper is allocated 45 minutes and carries 40 marks. Test A is to be done without a calculator; a calculator is allowed for Test B. The mental mathematics test is on audio tape and takes 20 minutes. It carries 20 marks. Pupils are awarded a single level for mathematics. The tests cover all the aspects of the Key Stage 3 programmes of study. They are designed to measure the overall progress that pupils have made in mathematics during Year 7. The new progress tests (from 2003) reflect the changes in end of Key Stage mathematics tests. Using and Applying Mathematics (UAM) is a key aspect. Approximately one eighth of the marks will be for questions that require UAM to get a correct answer or where UAM is assessed directly the most common form being an explain question. As it is impossible to use and apply mathematics without some mathematical content, all UAM marks will contribute to the content balance of each test. Questions testing problem-solving skills will be similar to those already used in Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 tests. Some questions will have limited structure, with few intermediate steps indicated, to enable pupils to demonstrate their skills. Topics that are developed in Key Stage 3, for example algebra and probability, will be tested at levels 3 and 4. Pupils should know how long is allowed for each test and should be familiar with the general layout and design, which will be similar to previous tests. 7
Lesson 1 Place value, addition and subtraction Oral and mental starter 10 minutes Objectives Read and write whole numbers in figures and words, and know what each digit represents (Y5) Vocabulary digit, numeral, figures more than, less than Resources individual whiteboards calculator place-value chart or place-value cards Q Ask pupils to write on whiteboards, in figures, seven thousand and twenty-three. Encourage pairs of pupils to compare their results and to sort out errors themselves. Errors will probably involve the zero digit; many pupils will find 7123 easier than 7023. Demonstrate and explain using a place-value chart or place-value cards. Consolidate using similar examples. In the next questions, say the numbers in words; pupils write their answers in figures. Q What number is 2 more than 199?... 2 more than 999? Q Write in digits the number that is 2 more than 1 999 999. Check understanding of place value through questioning. Extend the activity to include questions such as 5 less than 1003; 7 less than 2 000 004; 0.3 less than 1.2; 0.4 less than 9.1. Focus on bridging across 10, 100 and 1000 as appropriate: 1003 5 = (1003 3) 2 = 1000 2 = 998 Pupils can use a calculator to check results. Main teaching 40 minutes Objectives Use known number facts and place value to consolidate mental addition/subtraction (Y6) Use standard column procedures to add and subtract whole numbers (Y7) Vocabulary sum, difference, complement Resources OHT 1.1 number line or 100 square Springboard 7 Units 1 and 2 (Plenary) Resource sheet 1.2 (Plenary) Pupils should be able to recall addition and subtraction facts within 20 and complements of 100. A common error is 100 32 78. Model 100 32 using a number line or a 100 square: 32 8 40 40 60 100 Extend to complements of 1 with one, then two, decimal places, for example: 1 0.76 0.24 Ask pupils to add and subtract mentally 2 two-digit numbers. If pupils make errors, track back through the progression illustrated by these examples: 46 50 (adding tens) 43 52 (units within 10) 43 58 (units greater than 10) 63 52 (tens greater than 100) 63 58 (units greater than 10 and tens greater than 100). Q How did you work out...? Discuss the methods pupils use: 63 58 (63 50) 8 113 8 63 58 (60 50) (3 8) 110 11 63 58 (63 8) 50 71 50 Similarly, check the progression in subtraction illustrated by these examples: 48 5 46 30 67 42 64 37 Discuss the methods pupils use: 64 37 (64 30) 7 64 37 (64 40) + 3 A number line provides useful support. Springboard 7 Unit 1 pages 53 59 contain further examples if required. Follow up in future lessons as a starter activity. 9
Introduce OHT 1.1. Pupils need to choose an appropriate calculation method. Allow time for pupils to complete the calculations. Focusing on particular examples, discuss their methods of solution. In question 10, for example, changing the order of calculation makes the question easier. Plenary 10 minutes By the end of the lesson pupils should: be able to add and subtract whole numbers. Framework supplement of examples pages 88, 92, 94, 104 (includes decimals) Level 4 Identify and discuss particular errors that pupils have made. The following test questions provide a useful summary: 238 1487 723 154 Check pupils understanding and accuracy. Some pupils will need extra support or time (in lessons or through homework) to become confident with subtraction. Resource sheet 1.2 lists some mental mathematics questions. Springboard 7 Unit 2 pages 79 85 provide consolidation. 10
OHT 1.1 Addition and subtraction Work out these calculations without a calculator. For each question, decide whether you: can do it in your head; need some jottings to help you to get the answer; need to use a written method. 1 523 98 2 436 253 3 345 457 789 4 716 897 5 1076 57 6 674 233 7 547 289 8 1784 98 9 6052 1567 10 7894 8792 2358

Lesson 2 Multiplication Oral and mental starter 10 minutes Objectives Multiply and divide integers and decimals mentally by 10, 100, 1000 and explain the effect (Y7) Vocabulary digits, tens, hundreds, thousands Resources Large number cards made from Resource sheets 2.1a h Give the eight large cards made from Resource sheets 2.1a h to individual pupils. Invite them to show the number 423 at the front of the class. Q Multiply 423 by 10. Take pupil suggestions and discuss how each digit is multiplied by 10. Emphasise that the decimal point does not move and that zero acts as a place holder to give 4230. Repeat with 41.2 10. Q Divide 423 by 10. Take pupil suggestions and discuss how each digit is divided by 10. The decimal point does not move. Demonstrate the answer (42.3), with pupils manipulating the cards. Repeat with other two- and three-digit numbers and decimals, and using 100 and 1000 as multipliers and divisors. Discuss results and encourage pupils to explain their reasoning. Ensure pupils are confident with place value when multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. Main teaching 40 minutes Objectives Use informal pencil and paper methods to support, record or explain multiplications. Extend written methods (Y5, Y6) Vocabulary partition, product Resources Large place-value cards Springboard 7 Unit 6 OHT 2.2 (Plenary) Remind pupils of doubles and near doubles. Instant recall of multiplication facts up to 10 10 is essential to progress with multiplication. Discuss strategies to help learn multiplication facts, for example: 7 8 (7 7) + 7; 7 8 (5 8) (2 8) 7 8: double 7 (14), double 14 (28) and double 28 56 Doubling the 3 times table gives the 6 times table. Use place-value cards to demonstrate that 28 is made up of a 20 and an 8. Partition other two-digit numbers such as 42 and 79. Q How would you multiply 42 by 7? Draw out the key concept that 42 7 is equivalent to 40 7 plus 2 7. Demonstrate this on a grid: 40 2 7 280 14 Show the sum of 280 14 giving 294; so 42 7 294. Demonstrate other products using this method and then set questions in the form tu u, extending to htu u. Springboard 7 Unit 6 pages 231 and 232 provide examples. Use problems in which some figures are missing from a calculation, for example: 30? or 3 = 228.? 180 48 Framework for teaching mathematics: from Reception to Year 6 section 6 pages 66 and 67 illustrate the progression in multiplication. 15
Plenary 10 minutes By the end of the lesson pupils should: understand how to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000; be able to multiply a two-digit number by a single-digit number. Framework supplement of examples page 88 Level 4 Show OHT 2.2. Allow a few minutes for pupils to work out the answers in pairs, then discuss their explanations. Summarise the explanations of the effect of multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. Invite a pupil to demonstrate how they would multiply 743 by 6. Discuss the partitioning used to break down the question. 16

Lesson 3 Objectives Order fractions and position them on a number line (Y6) Vocabulary gauge, litre numerator, denominator order Resources OHT 3.1 individual whiteboards (optional) Using fractions Oral and mental starter 15 minutes Show OHT 3.1. Ask pupils to read the question. Wait a few minutes then take responses. Q How did you work out the answer? Some pupils may consider the gauge to be a 0 to 60 number line and work out 3 45. Others may say that the tank is three-quarters full, and then calculate 4 of 60. Repeat for tanks of different sizes. Clarify the meaning of a fraction as a number, with a position on a number line, and a fraction as an operator a fraction of a quantity. 1 On the board draw a 0 to 1 number line and ask a pupil to estimate where 8 lies on it. Repeat for other unitary fractions (numerator = 1) and then fractions such as 5 7 8, 10. You may prefer pupils to do this individually, displaying their answers on whiteboards. Using a 0 to 10 number line, repeat the process with examples of fractions greater 1 2 than 1 (e.g. 2, 3 ). 4 5 Main teaching 35 minutes Objectives Calculate simple fractions of quantities and measurements (Y7) Order fractions (Y6) Use names and abbreviations of units of measurement (Y7) Vocabulary kilogram kg, gram g kilometre km hour h, minute min order Resources OHT 3.2 Springboard 7 Unit 13 OHT 3.3 (Plenary) Begin by chanting fractions: 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 3 of 1 = 3 3 of 2 = 3 3 of 3 = 1 3 of 4 = 1 3 1 2 1 1 1 1 2 3 of 5 = 1 3 3 of 6 = 2 3 of 7 = 2 3 3 of 8 = 2 3 1 1 1 1 2 1 3 of 9 = 3 3 of 10 = 3 3 3 of 11 = 3 3 3 of 12 = 4 Explain how to find a fraction of a quantity. 4 Q Find 5 of 20 litres. 7 Q Find 10 of 200 metres. Take pupils suggestions. Check that they have a reliable method for calculation, 1 7 1 for example find 5 of 20, then multiply by 4; to find 10 of 200, find 10 of 200, then 7 multiply by 7, or find 10 of 100, then multiply by 2. Emphasise that the answer should be expressed in the correct units. OHT 3.2 contains a set of similar questions. Emphasise the need to calculate the numerical answer and state the appropriate units. Discuss which are mental calculations and which require some written working. Explain the difference between the question types: find [fraction] of and what fraction of... is...? Springboard 7 Unit 13 pages 425 426 provide further examples involving money, time and measures. Plenary 10 minutes By the end of the lesson pupils should be able to: order simple fractions; work out fractions of quantities and measurements. Framework supplement of examples pages 66 69 Level 4 Use the test question on OHT 3.3. Ask pupils to order the fractions, starting with the smallest. Rectify any errors, distinguishing between careless errors and misconceptions. A common misconception is for pupils to order the denominators ignoring the numerators. Use a list of fractions with the same denominator but different numerators to check pupils understanding. 1 1 1 Ask pupils to draw a picture to explain that of is. Share their explanations. 2 4 8 27

Ask pupils to suggest equivalent 3 fractions to 4. Through a series of questions lead pupils to the idea of a multiplier for both numerator and denominator to obtain equivalent fractions. 3 9 Q How do you get from 4 to 12? Q If the numerator is 15, what will the denominator be? How do you know? Extend so that pupils see the equivalence between fraction and decimal forms. 3 Q Can you write 4 in another way? as a decimal? (0.75) Repeat with 0.1 written in the centre of OHT 4.1, looking for fraction equivalents. 1 10 Ensure pupils see that 0.1 is equivalent to 10 and 100. 24 Ask pupils, working in pairs, to do the same with 60. 2 Draw this together and show that the key equivalent fractions are 5 and 0.4. Discuss how pupils arrived at these. Check that pupils can obtain equivalent fractions by dividing numerator and denominator by the same divisor. Main teaching 35 minutes Objectives Recognise the equivalence between decimal and fraction forms (Y6) Vocabulary fraction, equivalent, numerator, denominator Resources 4 counting sticks Springboard 7 Unit 5 OHTs 4.2 and 4.3 (Plenary) Use three counting sticks divided into ten sections. Ask pupils to arrange the following sets of fractions on separate sticks. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 1 1 2 3 4 0, 5, 5, 5, 5, 1 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1 Compare the counting sticks by aligning them beneath each other. 4 Q What do you notice about 10 and 0.4? Q Is any other fraction the same as 0.4? 3 Q What do you notice about 10? Between which two values does it lie? 3 Q What is the decimal equivalent of 10? Repeat for other values. 1 1 3 Ask a pupil to place the numbers 0, 4, 2, 4, 1 on a fourth counting stick. Line up this stick with the others. 1 Q Which values are the same as 2? Q Between which two decimal values does a quarter lie? 1 3 Q What is the decimal equivalent of 4?... of 4? Ask pupils to imagine a 0 to 1 number line with 100 divisions. Count from 0 to 0.12 together (0, 0.01, 0.02... 0.12). Q What is the first number after zero on the line? (0.01) Q What is the middle number? (0.5) Q What is the number on the line immediately before the middle? (0.49) 19 Q Where would 100 be? 7 Q Where would 10 be? Repeat for other fractions. Springboard 7 Unit 5 pages 189 and 190 provide further practice examples. 33
By the end of the lesson pupils should be able to: find equivalent fractions; convert between decimals and fractions. Framework supplement of examples pages 60 65 Level 4 Plenary 10 minutes Use OHT 4.2 to make connections between equivalent fractions. Pupils should learn key conversions and order simple fractions. Use OHT 4.3, which is based on a test question on equivalent fractions. Ask pupils to answer the questions, then discuss their responses. What errors did pupils make? Correct any misconceptions. 34

Lesson 5 Probability Oral and mental starter 15 minutes Objectives Use vocabulary and ideas of probability drawing on experience (Y7) Vocabulary certain, uncertain, good chance, no chance impossible, even chance equally likely, possible likely, unlikely, not likely, fair unfair, random, risk Resources Resource sheet 5.1a d, possibly made into word cards Objectives Use vocabulary and ideas of probability drawing on experience (Y7) Vocabulary as above Resources OHTs 5.2a and b and 5.3 Springboard 7 Unit 7 By the end of the lesson pupils should: understand equally likely events; be able to use correctly the vocabulary of probability. Framework supplement of examples pages 276 277 Level 4 You may want to cut out the words on Resource sheet 5.1a d or enlarge and mount them on card. Show pupils one of the words. In pairs, invite them to prepare an explanation or example to illustrate the meaning of the word. Discuss pupils suggestions. Explore, clarify and consolidate the meaning of each word. Ideally you should build up this vocabulary through a series of small inputs before the lesson. You can then use this starter to revise the vocabulary and meanings. Main teaching 40 minutes Introduce OHT 5.2a Cards, which has been adapted from a test question and builds on the vocabulary and explanations in the starter. Pupils might attempt the question individually. Encourage pupils to read each part and produce clear written explanations. Discuss the written explanations in pairs, and consider how to improve them; emphasise that marks are awarded for giving clear written explanations. Explain and clarify any issues that arise. Explore the common misconception of equally likely events through discussion of this example: John says: To throw a six or not to throw a six, each has a probability 1 of as either you do it or you don t. 2 Q Is he correct? Ask pupils to explain their answer. OHT 5.3 Tokens develops this understanding. Encourage pupils to produce clear written explanations. Springboard 7 Unit 7 pages 253 254 provide further examples. Plenary 5 minutes Ask pupils to give examples of: events that are equally likely; events that are not equally likely. Q Is it equally likely that the next baby born in the local hospital is a boy or girl? Discuss the question and answer. You might go on to use these ideas in simple probability calculations. Springboard 7 Unit 7 page 255 introduces the probability scale. 39

OHT 5.3 Tokens A class has some gold tokens and some silver tokens. The tokens are all the same size. (a) The teacher puts four gold tokens and one silver token in a bag. Leah is going to take one token out of the bag without looking. She says: There are two colours, so it is just as likely that I will get a gold token as a silver token. Explain why Leah is wrong. 1 mark (b) (c) How many more silver tokens should the teacher put in the bag to make it just as likely that Leah will get a gold token as a silver token? 1 mark Jack has a different bag with 8 tokens in it. It is more likely that Jack will take a gold token than a silver token from his bag. How many gold tokens might there be in Jack s bag? 1 mark
Lesson 6 Calculators Oral and mental starter 10 minutes Objectives Round positive whole numbers to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000 (Y7) Check a result by considering whether it is of the right order of magnitude (Y7) Vocabulary approximate, rounding, estimate Resources OHT 6.1 Show the grid on OHT 6.1. Ask pupils to round the numbers on the first row to the nearest 10. Q How did you arrive at your answer? Repeat by asking pupils to round the numbers on the second row to the nearest 100 and those on the third row to the nearest 1000. Each time ask pupils to explain their answers. Extend the activity by rounding any of the numbers to the nearest 10. Ensure pupils understand which are the critical values when rounding to the nearest multiple of 10, and that they do not get confused when rounding 149 to the nearest 100, or 25 to the nearest 10. (Pupils may round 149 to 150 and then 200.) Main teaching 40 minutes Objectives Enter numbers in a calculator, and interpret the display in different contexts (Y7) Carry out calculations with more than one step (Y7) Vocabulary display, recurring decimal Resources OHTs 6.2 and 6.3 OHP calculator class set of calculators Springboard 7 Units 2, 10 and 15 Introduce the grid on OHT 6.2. Ask pupils to approximate the numbers to get an estimate for the calculation. Use this to decide which of the questions have the correct answer and which are wrong. Ask pupils to explain their reasons. Use the OHP calculator to check the answers. For each of the problems on OHT 6.3 ask pupils to: read the question; write down the calculation; decide if it is appropriate to use a calculator; use the correct key sequence; write down the answer to the question. Ask pupils to give you their answers. Do each calculation on an OHP calculator. Make sure pupils can interpret the result. Discuss any points needed to support pupils methods and use of the calculator. Further consolidation can be found in Springboard 7 Unit 2 Star challenge 11 page 93, Unit 10 page 351 and Unit 15 pages 485 and 486.

Q Count back from 41 in steps of 5. Give similar examples. Springboard 7 Unit 1 pages 50 51 provides further examples that can be done orally. Revise even numbers. Q Think of the even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 What picture do you see? Draw it. Make sure that pupils have a mental image of even numbers. Pupils need a picture similar to: Ask pupils to explain the link between the numbers and the pictures. Do the same for odd numbers, square numbers and triangular numbers (see Framework supplement of examples page 146). Emphasise the link between the picture and the numbers.. Main teaching 35 minutes Objectives Generate sequences from practical contexts (Y7) Recognise squares of numbers to at least 12 12 (Y7) Vocabulary pattern, position, term Resources OHTs 11.1 and 11.2 OHT 11.3 (Plenary) Introduce the task on OHT 11.1, which is based on a test question. Discuss and establish ways of recording the information, for example: pattern 1 2 3 number of tiles 4 For each question, establish how pupils worked out their answers. Encourage pupils to move on from describing the pattern as +4 to seeing the link between the pattern number and the number of tiles ( 4). Note, however, that this could lead pupils to a false conclusion: a 4 link between terms does not always lead to position-to-term relation of 4. Use the example on OHT 11.2 to clarify this. Plenary 10 minutes By the end of the lesson pupils should be able: to generate sequences from spatial situations; understand links between a numerical sequence and a spatial pattern.
