Auchinairn Primary School

Level B Programme of Work
(Session 2008/9)

Main Resource – Class Teacher

Level B Textbook 5 - 14 mathematics (TeeJay Publishers)
Worksheets (download free from www.tjpublishers.co.uk)

Methodology – Approximately one half of each lesson should be teacher exposition,

demonstration, oral practice (i.e. question and answer, recall and more
importantly questions stimulating thinking and response by pupils).
Demonstrations on board or whiteboard by pupils and games based learning.
– As a rule of thumb, no more than one half of any lesson should be class practice.

Time Allocation – The time allocation for each area of study should be broadly in line with the
school’s document on structure and balance of the curriculum found in the
forward planning folder (some flexibility built in)
– Assessments for ALL classes are required to be carried out in line with the
school’s assessment procedures.
– The time allocations for each topic is a guide only to ensure that we are taking
appropriate pace and challenge into account.

Homework – Homework is provided through Teejay Publishing booklet “Level B Homework”.
Page 2
Most exercises in the textbook have a linked homework exercise. These should be
used for consolidation of class work or providing those pupils who have reason to
be absent from class lessons a means of covering missed work.
– The booklets also provide an excellent resource for revision at home prior to class
tests and a means for parents to keep track of class work.
– Most homework exercises should be completed by all pupils during the course of
the session.
Checking H’Work
Teachers might wish not to mark homework on each occassion, but should ensure that :-
(a) a quick check be made that h’work is recorded in diary
(b) a quick check to establish it has been attempted
(c) homework is corrected by pupil or neighbour each day
(d) difficulties arising are addressed promptly by teacher
(e) regular checks are made of setting/neatness/accuracy.

Self-marking, peer marking and the use of classroom assistants is encouraged to ease this process. The latter should not
be used as the sole means to address the marking of homework but should be one of the tools adopted.

Assessments – The school will be introduring assessment procedures in session 2008/2009.

Mental Calculations – Mental Calculations are part of the 5-14 national Assessments and it is therefore
Page 3
necessary to carry out mental calculation practice on a regular basis with all children.
In order to satisfy this requirement teachers should spend time at the a start or end of
almost every lesson on mental calculations or alternately a 20 mins block each week.
(Practice sheets will be provided to support each mental test)
– 2 Mental Tests should be officially used during each “block” of work as specified.
– National Assessment have mental questions included and should be a key element.
– All mental test practices and National Assessments should be carried out strictly as follows
(a) No written work should be allowed.
(b) Each question should be read twice only with a slight gap.
(c) Pupils given only 10 seconds to answer each question.
(d) In class mental assessments, answers should be entered into a mental test jotter
which the teacher or neighbour should mark during the period.
Teacher should then highlight problems and attempt to re-cover learning.

Problem Solving - Written word problems are a key feature of each TJ Chapter. They should be developed
along with games based learning, Glasgow Problem Solving and the Problem Solving in Action
intractive resource.
National Assess’t – Level B should take approximately one year to complete for most pupils. Pupils will then be
prepared to sit a national assessment, using a variety of revision materials.
– Pupils will only be presented for a national assessment when the teacher considers that
they are ready and well prepared.
– National assessment at level B should be carried out prior to Level C being started.
