Does Target your Maths cover the National Curriculum?
Our refreshed “Target your Maths plus Mastery” series covers the entire National Curriculum for KS2. New Mastery content has been added to the existing books meaning that our loyal customers, who are already using Target your Maths, can continue to do so knowing that when they need to renew or restock, the revised books will work seamlessly with the old.
Where necessary we have updated the current terminology that is now used in all schools.
What is mastery?
Mastery allows for all students to acquire a solid understanding of the elementary concepts of Maths facts and ideas at each Key Stage. We have added small Mastery sections to the end of most topics in the existing Target your Maths books. The Mastery questions can be answered individually or as a class group at the end of a lesson.
Unlike the A, B and C sections in our Target your Maths books, the Mastery questions are aimed at all ability levels and are not to test the extent to which each student is working at, but to check that the basic foundation of each topic has been understood.
Why Target your Maths?
- Introduction: the learning intention expressed as a target with clearly worked examples.
- Section A: activities based upon work previously covered. Can be used as a reminder of work previously covered, as well as providing material for the less confident child.
- Section B: activities based upon the requirements for the current year. Most children should be able to work successfully at this level.
- Section C: activities providing extension material for the faster workers and for those who need more challenging tasks.
- Mastery questions to strengthen and secure a comprehensive knowledge of each learning objective.
