Children who appear to get ‘stuck’ at level 2C in mathematics ~ how do we solve the problem?
March 2010
© Crown copyright 2010
Aims of the session
• To become familiar with recent research into children who get stuck at Level 2C at the end of KS1
• To discuss how identified barriers might be overcome and what actions can be taken to ensure greater progress can be made
• To consider what CPD opportunities might be provided to support these children and their teachers

Reasons for this research
• Concern over the high number of children who attain 2C at KS1 but make slow progress and do not attain L4 at the end of KS2
• To identify aspects of mathematics that appear to present barriers to learning for whose achievement has ‘stalled’ at 2C
• To support teachers and schools to plan appropriate intervention to help such children

Handout 2 ~ Task
Using the test questions as a starting point, identify:
• the likely barriers those children ‘stuck’ at level 2C might encounter;
• possible follow up interview tasks and probing questions you might use to pinpoint and analyse the nature of the barriers;
• the teaching and learning experiences that would help these children to progress

Conclusions ~ Children need to be taught:• to recognise the value of each digit in a 2-digit number, to use this
knowledge to partition 2-digit numbers, combine tens and units to form a 2-digit number and to order 2-digit numbers
• how to use and apply their knowledge of counting in tens, to count a large number of objects efficiently and accurately, counting on and back in tens from any 2-digit number and finding the total of a set of coins that includes 10p pieces
• how to use their knowledge of counting in tens and their recall of number facts to begin to calculate efficiently using 1- and 2-digit numbers
• that subtraction can involve finding the difference between the number of objects in two sets or the difference between two numbers, and to recognise how this operation relates to addition
• how to use number sentences to represent practical situations, especially those involving subtraction or multiplication, and how to interpret and solve number sentences that have missing numbers

How could the Securing level 2 and OB L1-2 materials be used with teachers to support these level 2C children ?
• Take a question from Handout 2 that causes particular problems
• Find corresponding support pages from the Securing level 2 and OB L1-2 materials
• Discuss how this process could be modelled with teachers
• What might teachers find difficult, and how they might be overcome?

Future working?
• Is this something that could purposefully help you and your schools to identify pupil gaps and support teachers to find solutions?
• Could you work with 1 or 2 children in a school who are stuck at Level 2C and be prepared to feedback at a future consultant meeting?
