These are Bristol Material designed to be downloaded and used as alternatives to the DfES bridging unit “Transition from Year 6 to Year 7 mathematics”
The Bristol lesson plans
- Some of the lessons have been left almost as they were, but others, e.g. Lesson 2, have been changed quite significantly.
- There are changes to some of the resources, particularly some of the worksheets that proved very challenging for the majority of pupils.
- There are new resources, provided chiefly for supporting pupils working at level 3.
Teaching the unit
- It is not essential that you teach the Transition Unit during the first two weeks of the autumn term. You may prefer to leave the lessons for a week or two.
- The new set of lessons can be done in a different order if you wish, in particular lessons 1 and 5 stand alone.
- You may continue with the original Transition Unit lesson plans if you prefer and use some of the new resources.
- Note that on the CD you have access to the Year 6 resources, which include the cut-out coins sheets.
