As a teacher we are of course always thinking ahead.
I was marking a place value assessment today and was considering the progress the children had made over the year - and I can overview this with their IKAN results, however - it is not in depth or frequent enough. (Like with Basic Facts when I do a weekly test, as well as the school basic facts assessment and IKAN results.)
Why am I not paying enough attention to such an integral part of numeracy?
It brought me back to the start of the year when I spent some time focussing on Place Value - which underlies most understandings required for numeracy. I really think I needed to spend more time on it though, and refelcting upon this, I would have liked a similar assessment to have as a comparison.
Which brought me to thinking about next year. What will I keep the same? What needs zooping up? What do I need to introduce? What needs to go?
