Assessing Pupils' progress - Probing questions

The MS Powerpoint files available from the links to the left have been compiled by Claire Button, an AST working at St Bede’s Catholic College, Bristol.

Each file contains the probing questions at Levels 4, 5 and 6, from the National Strategy’s Assessing Pupils’ Progress resource, sorted by topic and illustrated with examples. These files provide ideal lesson plenaries, but could just as easily be used at any point in a lesson.

The full Assessing Pupils’ Progress in mathematics resource can be found on the DCFS Standards' site by using the link to the right.
