Schemes of learning

Are White Rose Maths resources subject to copyright?

<p>The sequence of small steps has been produced by White Rose Maths. We give permission to schools and teachers to use the small steps in their own teaching, own schools and classrooms. We kindly ask that any other organisations, companies and individuals who would like to reference our small steps wider seek the relevant permission. Please contact <a href="mailto:support@whiterosemaths.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support@whiterosemaths.com</a> for more information.</p>

Why do Year 1 spend so long on numbers to 10?

<p>Although children have worked with numbers to 20 in Early Years, there is no expectation that they should be able to record them formally. Some Year 1 children might therefore be recording numerals for the first time. With numbers to 10 forming the basis of our number system, it’s important that children develop a strong sense of number and feel confident to use them in different ways, such as knowing every number bond both to and within 10.</p>

Why does the Year 1 scheme revisit number when other groups do not?

<p>The National Curriculum states that children in Year 1 should be able to count, read and write numbers to 100 by the end of the year. To ensure this is achievable, the objective has been broken down into more manageable stages. Children cover place value to 10 – and later to 20 - in autumn, to 50 in spring and to 100 in summer. This helps ensure that skills are deeply embedded and built up slowly, over time. In other year groups, children are expected to use and apply their number knowledge in other areas of maths and therefore do not specifically need to revisit it as a stand-alone topic.</p>

Why is number so heavily weighted?

<p>We believe that number underpins almost every area of mathematics. Without firm foundations in number, children are likely to struggle with other aspects of mathematics. For example, calculating area in geometry. That is why our schemes devote so much time to number.</p>

If we spend so much time on number, how can we give sufficient time to other curricular areas?

<p>Children with an excellent grasp of number make better mathematicians. Spending longer on mastering key maths topics like number will build a child’s confidence and help secure understanding. This should mean that other topics take less time to teach and learn. Schools already using these schemes have also used other subjects and topic time to teach and consolidate relevant areas of the mathematics curriculum.</p>

What should I cover in consolidation weeks?

<div> <p>One helpful option for consolidation week would be to address any misconceptions identified through the termly assessment gap analysis. Don’t worry too much about the exact timing as the long-term overviews are not set in stone the number of weeks per topic in the schemes are simply a guide.</p> </div> <p> </p>

Do you have grade boundaries for your assessments which indicate whether a child is achieving or working towards greater depth?

<p>This is not something we are able to offer. We suggest that you use our assessments to highlight a child’s strengths and to reveal the gaps in their knowledge. We’d then advise that you plan future lessons, starters and interventions to fill the gaps and build understanding.</p>

What percentage do schools use to indicate whether a child is at age-related expectations?

<p>Our assessments are designed to check for strengths and gaps in children’s knowledge. While schools sometimes use target percentages of between 50% and 70%, we have not yet gathered enough data from our own assessments to offer what we believe to be a reliable percentage. However, if your school wants to decide on a percentage, we’d suggest combining the assessment with your own day-to-day assessments to identify whether or not a child is at age-related expactations.</p>

Do you provide answers for your key learning questions?

<p>This is not something we offer. These questions aim to give teachers an insight into different methods they might use to teach the topic and suggestions for varying the questions they ask their pupils. Some schools use these questions within their main lesson input and then model some answers with the children before giving them similar practice questions. </p>

Is one small step meant to be one lesson?

<p>As highlighted in our <a href="https://whiterosemaths.com/resources/schemes-of-learning/">Small Steps guidance</a>, one small step does not equate to one lesson. It is up to you to assess when your class is secure enough to move on to the next small step in learning. Sometimes a small step will show three different approaches within the varied fluency, and these could take two or three lessons to cover. You should use the small steps as the order of learning and then use your own knowledge of your class to plan how long to spend on each small step once you’re happy that most of the children are secure.  At other times, you may wish to look at more than one step in a lesson, particularly if the steps are reviewing learning from a previous year, in which children are secure.</p>

Should every child be expected to cope with fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions?

<p>The three main aims of the national curriculum are for all children to be fluent, to be able to reason and problem solve. It’s therefore vital that all children can access all the questions. Some children may require more support at times, but we would still expect them to be exposed to reasoning and problem-solving questions. We’ve varied the level of challenge in our reasoning and problem-solving questions so that some are accessible to every child while others help stretch thinking and deepen understanding.</p>

Do you have any more examples of questions, stem sentences or images that I can use?

<p>Our small steps aim to give you ideas and support your planning. You can use the sample questions to inspire new ones of your own. Feel free to use any appropriate images and/or concrete manipulatives that will support learning. You could also create more stem sentences of your own, using those provided as models, to help structure children’s thinking.  The children in your class could be involved in the construction of these.</p>

Can I have an editable version of the schemes?

<p>Our schemes are protected by copyright, so we cannot offer editable versions. However, should you want to use the images or questions in your own class you can extract them from the PDFs using the snipping tool. The reasoning and problem-solving questions for each block are available in an editable PowerPoint format so that you can adjust the questions to suit your needs.</p>

Why don’t you revisit topics so that I can reinforce what children should know?

<p>The White Rose Maths schemes of learning are designed to give sufficient time for teachers to explore and understand a concept in depth, rather than covering it superficially and then returning several times. However, we appreciate that schools want to enable children to revisit concepts and ensure number fluency.</p> <p>The schemes interleave prior content with new concepts. For example, when children look at measurement, we recommend that they tackle lots of questions that practise the four operations and fractions. This practice and consolidation helps children grasp the links between topics and understand them in more depth.</p> <p>We also recommend that schools reinforce number fluency throughout the year, perhaps via mental or oral starters or in additional maths time during the day.</p>

Do you recommend the use of textbooks alongside your schemes?

<p>Many schools are now making use of the mastery textbooks favoured by maths exemplars in Singapore and China. The White Rose Maths schemes have been designed to work alongside these books. We recommend that you carefully consider whether to follow the White Rose Maths schemes and use the textbook to support, or follow the order of the textbook and use White Rose Maths materials to support, depending on which best suits your needs.</p> <p>Pearson (in partnership with White Rose Maths) have produced <a href="https://www.pearson.com/uk/educators/primary-educators/primary-resources/power-maths.html"><em>Power Maths</em></a><em>,</em> a textbook and workbook series that fits alongside the White Rose Maths schemes.</p> <p><strong><em>Power Maths</em></strong><strong> has been approved by the DFE as one of only two textbooks that fits the NCETM’s textbook criteria.</strong> White Rose Maths is proud to work with Pearson on the series and many schools up and down the country are using <em>Power Maths</em>.</p>

Premium resources

What’s included in the price for primary?

<p>We’ve produced a worksheet for every small step in our schemes of learning.<br />You’ll be able to access each worksheet in three different formats:</p> <ul> <li>a printable version for students to write on;</li> <li>a display version to project for a whole class to see and work on in their books, or to share one between two; and</li> <li>a PowerPoint version so you can work through questions individually or incorporate them into your lesson planning.</li> </ul> <p>Answers are provided for each individual worksheet.</p> <p>We also provide:</p> <ul> <li>Flashback 4 starters – a series of quick questions covering something from the previous lesson, last week and then topics from earlier in the year – maybe even last year! (The final few blocks of autumn will be added in the coming weeks).</li> <li>True or False questions – perfect to get your class thinking and to encourage discussion.</li> <li>Videos linked to our weekly overviews, along with the PowerPoint slides for front-of-class use.<br />These will be released over the course of the year in line with the dates on our <a href="https://whiterosemaths.com/resources/primary-resources/primary-sols/">primary guidance</a>.</li> </ul> <p> </p>

What’s the difference between an individual subscription and a school subscription?

<p>An individual subscription gives one person access to one year group for 12 months. A school subscription gives a whole team access to every year group for 12 months.</p>

What’s the minimum subscription period?

<p>All White Rose Maths subscriptions are annual.</p>

Why is White Rose Maths producing worksheets?

<p>One of the most popular requests we’ve received is for additional practise questions for students. Our schemes of learning already include exemplar questions for teachers to use in class, but students often need more than these to consolidate their learning. As teachers ourselves, we’re extremely aware of teacher workload, and we wanted to help as much as possible by providing high-quality consolidation material to use in lessons and/or for homework.</p>

Why use White Rose Maths worksheets?

<p>Quite simply, because they:</p> <ul> <li>are full of purposeful practice opportunities</li> <li>embed the concrete – pictorial – abstract approach throughout</li> <li>are designed and written specifically for children in particular year groups</li> <li>get children thinking about the relevant concept</li> <li>interleave content as appropriate</li> <li>encourage mathematical discussion and thinking</li> <li>include variation to help children spot patterns</li> <li>build fluency, reasoning and problem solving.</li> </ul>

Why provide three different formats of worksheet?

<p>We want to cater for the needs of as many schools as possible. We’re conscious that some schools have a ‘no worksheet’ policy while others prefer to stick worksheets into students’ books. By producing the same questions in both a write-on and display format, we’re hoping that every teacher feels able to use these resources.</p> <p>The PowerPoint version features exactly the same questions as the worksheets. As teachers, we’ve all experienced those moments where many students get stuck on one particular question. We don’t want you to use your valuable time ‘snipping’ questions and struggling to reformat them for use on a class screen.  Instead, we hope that teachers will find it much easier to work through any tricky points with groups by giving speedy access to a full-screen version of each question.</p>

What’s the point of the display version?

<p>Some teachers don’t like sticking sheets in their books, so as an alternative to the write-on worksheets, we have produced a display version that can either be projected on a whiteboard or printed and shared between two students. It includes the same questions but without the room to write answers on the sheets. The display version goes onto two sides of A4, and you will notice that the second page is repeated. Duplicating the second side causes less of an issue when students are sharing a sheet and one is ready to turn over the page ahead of the other.</p>

What do the symbols mean?

<p>Without putting too many words on the page, we wanted a way to give hints to students and teachers about how best to use the questions. Our solution was to use symbols.</p> <p>A <strong>cube</strong> symbol suggests the use of concrete manipulatives.<br />A <strong>draw</strong> symbol encourages drawing.<br />A <strong>bar model</strong> symbol gives a clear hint when a bar model be the best type of drawing to use to help seen the structure of a problem.<br />A <strong>talk</strong> symbol stimulates mathematical talk to get students to vocalise their thinking.<br />A <strong>think</strong> symbol indicates a question where students have to think that little bit deeper.</p>

How do the worksheets link to the schemes of learning?

<p>The worksheets are specifically designed to complement the White Rose Maths Schemes of Learning. They follow the exact small steps breakdown as the schemes, and some questions will be similar but not the same. Most importantly, the worksheets provide many more questions and lots of extra practice!</p>

Do we have to follow your schemes of learning to use the sheets?

<div> <p>Although we match the materials to our small steps, you can use our worksheets to support any scheme. Simply use them when the concepts arise. Bear in mind that we will release block by block over the course of the coming year, so it will not all be available from the start.</p> </div> <p>Whether you follow the White Rose Maths schemes or a different scheme and wherever in the world you teach, our worksheets are full of purposeful practice questions that everyone can use!</p>

Are the worksheets just fluency-based or do they include reasoning and problem solving?

<p>All our worksheets include fluency, reasoning & problem solving practice throughout (although in no particular order) as all students should be exposed to every type of question.</p>

Are the files editable?

<p>No, for copyright reasons, the files are not editable. The worksheets come in PDF format, and the PowerPoints show the questions as images. If you do not want to use every single question, or if you want to add in some of your own, the PowerPoint version will allow you this flexibility.</p>

Is there one worksheet for each lesson?

<p>We are always keen to stress that in our schemes of learning, one small step is not necessarily covered in one lesson. Some small steps will take less than a lesson to master, while others will take longer. The same applies to the worksheets: there’s no 1-1 relationship between lessons and sheets: instead, you’re free to use your professional judgement about which questions are appropriate to which lesson.</p>

Can I use the worksheets alongside Power Maths?

<p>We have designed the worksheets so they can be used alongside the textbook series, <em>Power Maths. </em></p> <p>If your students need more practice or greater challenge, then these worksheets will be an ideal resource.</p>

Are the materials available to international schools?

<p>Yes – you can pay for the resources online and enjoy immediate access. Unfortunately, we do not offer a ‘pay by invoice’ option to international schools.</p>

I’m a primary teacher. Can I access the secondary resources?

<p>Primary school membership includes only the resources from Years 1 to 6. The content in these year groups fully covers the National Curriculum, Key Stage 1 and 2. We would not encourage teachers to go beyond the National Curriculum objectives to stretch students - we believe it’s more beneficial to <em>deepen</em> their thinking around the content they are learning.</p>

We’re a small school. Can we get a discount?

<p>We’ve kept our prices as low as possible, and by basing licence prices on the number of users, we have also taken school size into account.</p>

Do you offer access for more than 40 users or Multi-Academy Trusts?

<p>If you are a Multi-Academy Trust or want to give wider access to more users (for example, parents or students), please email <a href="mailto:resources@whiterosemaths.com">resources@whiterosemaths.com</a> requesting a bespoke quote, and our team will do its best to meet your needs. </p>

Do you have premium resources for early years?

<p>All our early years schemes and resources are available free of charge. As our early years scheme encourages learning through play, there are no worksheets or other premium resources. Instead, our guidance provides a bank of ideas for adult focused activities and suggestions of how these can be further explored through the areas of provision.</p>

However, if your school wants to decide on a percentage, we’d suggest combining the assessment with your own day-to-day assessments to identify whether or not a child is performing as age-related expectations.</p>

Do you provide answers for your exemplar questions?

<p>Yes. These are available to download in powerpoint format. Simply go to 'view our resources', filter by year group, choose your block and you'll see the file underneath the scheme of learning file.</p>

Should every pupil be expected to cope with fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions?

<p>The three main aims of the National Curriculum are for all pupils to be fluent, to reason and to problem solve. It’s therefore vital that all pupils can access all the questions.

This practice and consolidation helps them grasp the links between topics and understand them in more depth.</p>

Do you recommend the use of textbooks alongside your schemes?

<p>Collins (in partnership with White Rose Maths) have produced a series of <a href="https://collins.co.uk/pages/white-rose-maths">textbooks</a> that fit alongside the secondary schemes of learning for Years 7 to 9.</p> <p><strong>The White Rose Maths KS3 textbook series has won the Teach Secondary Curriculum Impact award, </strong>and we are incredibly proud of this achievement.</p>

How do we use end-of-block assessments?

<p>End-of-block assessments provide a quick progress check at the end of each block of learning to make sure students have understood the content covered. Feel free to use these as suits your needs.  Some schools use these as formal assessments in class after a block has been completed, some use them as homework and others use them for revision later in the year.</p>

How do the different tiers of end-of-term assessments work?

<p>For Years 7, 8 and 9 there are three papers are three papers, Core, Foundation and Higher, together with the appropriate mark scheme in a zipped folder. It is intended that all students sit the Core paper, then using the guidance below, teachers decide which paper is appropriate to set students for their second paper.</p> <p>A <strong>Core</strong> paper – it is envisaged that all students will take this paper, to provide a direct comparison with the performance of the rest of the cohort. All topics from each term will be covered, and the use of a calculator is expected.<br />A <strong>Foundation</strong> paper – students who are working below national expectations will have the opportunity to show their understanding of the material with more straightforward questions. We recommend that students do not use a calculator for this paper.<br />A <strong>Higher</strong> paper – students who are working at or above national expectations will have the opportunity to tackle more challenging questions on the same material, plus the extra objectives indicated as “Higher” in our scheme of learning. We recommend that students do not use a calculator for this paper</p> <p>For Years 10 and 11 there are calculator and non-calculator papers for both Foundation and Higher GCSE tiers.  Content will focus on what has been studied so far in our KS4 curriculum, but will also include some assessment of prior knowledge of KS3.</p>

What's the difference between A and B assessments?

<p>The A versions of the assessments are available free on our website. The B versions are an extra set available to Premium Resources subscribers.  They are of the same standard but with different questions.</p>

How many lessons a week is you scheme designed for?

<p>We are aware that different schools have different time allocations for mathematics. We have covered the whole of the KS3 curriculum in Years 7, 8 and 9 and the whole of the KS4 curriculum in Years 10 and 11.  Depending on your time allocation, you can choose how much content to deliver in class time and how much practice is done in class and how much at home.</p>

We don't have enough lessons to cover every step. How can we address this?

<p>It is not intended that every step is a lesson.  Some steps can be combined to do two or three steps in a lesson, and some steps may need more than one lesson. When planning a block you should decide how to allocate the steps to cover in the lessons you have available.</p>

We are about to switch to using White Rose Maths? Can we start with all year groups at once or should we start with Year 7 and change one year at a time?

<p>This depends on the scheme you have been using previously.  If you were to start the White Rose scheme with, for example, a Year 9 cohort, you would need to check whether the prerequisites have been covered and/or whether topics in the White Rose scheme have been covered already, and adapt accordingly.</p>

What if we run out of time before finishing a block of learning?

<p>The time allocations are flexible and you may wish to change these slightly to allow for your students' needs. When planning each block, you may wish to consider what depth in which to cover the steps, depending of students' prior attainment e.g. omitting/spending less time on some Review or Higher steps.</p>

What do 'H' and 'R' mean next to the steps in the schemes of learning?

<p>In KS3, 'H' means content designed to challenge higher attainers, which is not necessarily Higher tier GCSE content. This content is revisited later so all learners get the opportunity to study all topics. In KS4, 'H' indicates Higher tier GCSE content.</p> <p>'R' steps are review steps, meaning this content will have been covered in pervious terms or years.</p>

Why is there no material for the last few weeks of Year 9?

<p>These weeks have been deliberately left free to allow for revision and consolidation of any topics you may wish to look at again before students start KS4.</p>

Can we change the order of the scheme of learning?

<p>We do not recommend changing the order of the scheme of learning. The scheme has been written to allow us interleave material, revisiting material studied earlier in the scheme to allow students to deepen their knowledge.  If you change the order, you may find students cannot access all of this material.</p>

Will there be Higher and Lower Attainer guidance for KS4?

<p>We have provided Higher and Lower Attainer guidance for every block in Years 7,8 and 9.  At KS4 we would expect higher attainers to be challenged by pressing on to Grade 8/9 content, and lower attainers can be supported by looking at material from KS3.</p>

<p>A secondary school subscription includes content from upper Key Stage 2 (years 5 and 6). This may be useful to support students who start secondary school with gaps in their knowledge. It also takes into account the overlap between KS2 and KS3.</p>

We’re a small school. Can we get a discount?

<p>We’ve kept our prices as low as possible, and by basing licence prices on the number of users, we’ve also taken school size into account.</p>

Do you offer access for more than 40 users or Multi-Academy Trusts?

<p>If you are a Multi-Academy Trust or want to give wider access to more users (for example, parents or students), please email <a href="mailto:resources@whiterosemaths.com">resources@whiterosemaths.com</a> requesting a bespoke quote, and our team will do its best to meet your needs. </p>
