Teachers’ Notes Year 1

Introduction - about the tests

Administration - how to manage the tests

The HeadStart Primary End of Term Mathematics Tests have been developed to help teachers assess children’s progress against the matters, skills and processes (grouped here as ‘objectives’) contained in the programmes of study for the mathematics curriculum.

The end of term tests (A, B and C) provide the option to administer a test at the end of each term.

The three end of term tests, together, cover all the objectives in the Year 1 mathematics curriculum. They provide a summative alternative to the content domain assessments. However, for the purpose of formative assessment, it is recommended that the domain tests are used, particularly for the number domains. This ensures thorough analysis of children’s performance against the curriculum objectives.

Ideally, the class teacher should administer the tests. This gives an overview of the children’s performance and a picture of any potential misconceptions as the test is being completed. Observing and making note of the way children approach and tackle the questions can be an extremely useful indicator towards future teaching and learning.

A pencil or pen is needed - any other necessary equipment is detailed at the top of the front cover of each test. No time limit is set for these tests. Depending on the year group, it may be appropriate to split the tests over two or more sessions.

Support during the tests

When deciding upon the amount of support that is appropriate, it is important to remember that it is maths and not reading that is being tested. If a child needs to have all or some of the test read to them, this support should be made available. However, it is also necessary to avoid giving too much assistance; this could mean that results do not realistically reflect a child’s progress in maths.

Teachers have an in-depth knowledge of the children in their care and professional judgement is always the best guide, when considering how much support to provide. It may be that the CD-ROM is used in conjunction with a whiteboard to display and read the pages of the test to aclass or group of children.

The most successful approach is achieved by developing a whole school agreement/policy on how much support is appropriate for each year group. This ensures effective moderation across the school year groups.

Marking - understanding and using the mark scheme

In Year 1, there are 25 questions in each test. Each question carries a maximum of 2 marks. Ideally, the class teacher should mark the tests. As with the administration of the tests, marking gives a clear picture of necessary next steps on an individual, group and class basis.

Some of the questions have several parts. If the number of parts is even, 1 mark is awarded if half or more of the parts are correct. For example, if a question is comprised of 6 calculations, a child getting 3, 4 or 5 of the calculations correct is awarded 1 mark.

If a question has an odd number of parts, 1 mark is awarded if more than half the parts have a correct answer. For example, a 3-part question would need to have 2 parts correct for the award of 1 mark.

Many questions have only one possible answer but the question still carries 2 marks. Some questions have a definite, correct answer but a child may be awarded 1 mark if appropriate working or method is evident. Since ‘appropriate working or method’ could involve a number of possible strategies, the final judgement on whether to award one mark has been left to the professional judgement of the teacher.SAMPLE

Tracking - using the assessments and scaled scores to track progress

Once a test has been marked, a raw score out of 50 can be awarded. Test raw scores should be converted to scaled scores (see conversion charts).

The table below can then be used to identify progress against one of the 6 stages.

The HeadStart assessment and tracking system is intended to be used to support teacher assessment strategies and professional judgement.

It is important to note that the HeadStart assessments and scaled scores cannot be directly correlated to national curriculum test scaled scores, for the following reasons:

• HeadStart assessments test every objective of the national curriculum and are intended fordiagnostic purposes as well as summative purposes.

• HeadStart assessments follow the standard deviation of 15, giving a range of scores from <70to 125+. SATs scaled scores range from 80 - 120.

• HeadStart assessments identify a range of scaled scores within an expected band either side ofa mean score of 100. SATs scores identify the expected score of 100.

TEST A: 33 scored out of 50

Use the raw score/scaled score conversion chart to convert the raw score of 33 to a scaled score of 102.

Therefore, a child with a scaled score of 102 is working at the ‘Secure’ stage (see table on page 3).

NB: This data should always be used in conjunction with ongoing teacher assessment.

Using the scaled score model to make a tracking judgement

Each test should be administered at an appropriate point towards the end of each term. Some teachers may decide to present the tests to children at the beginning and at the end of the terms. This would enable progress to be tracked over each term, as well as across the three terms of the school year.

To establish the stage achieved, the directions in the table below should be followed. The table shows an example of a child who has completed TEST A.

Test analysis software is also available from HeadStart Primary. Tests can be marked directly into the software; detailed performance analysis is then automatically generated for individuals, groups and classes.

Please visit www.headstartprimary.com for more information.

Every test question is underpinned by a statutory objective from the Year 1 mathematics curriculum. There is an objectives grid for each test, on which children’s performance can be recorded. The grids can be enlarged to A3 to make recording easier and clearer.

All the national curriculum objectives are covered over the three end of term tests.

The grids can be used to identify children’s performance against each of the objectives.

The grids can be used, in conjunction with ongoing teacher assessment,to identify which objectives need further reinforcement.

This analysis can be used to inform planning. (Identification of strengths and weaknesses enables teachers to be aware of the necessary emphasis to place on teaching the objectives when they are next met.)

The grids can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses of the whole class or groups. Groups might include boys/girls, children with special educational needs, children who have English as an additional language, pupil premium children, high achievers etc.

After all three tests have been completed, diagnostic information can be passed to the next year group teacher.

HeadStart Primary End of Term Mathematics TestsScaled Scores Year 1

Standardising the maths assessments

HeadStart Primary has conducted an extensive analysis, using a national sample of pupils for each assessment test, in order to produce a set of scaled (standardised) scores.

Standardising test scores fulfils two primary purposes:

(1) It enables a child's performance to be compared to the performance of other childrentaking the same test.

(2) It enables comparisons of performance across a range of tests, irrespective ofindividual test difficulty or number of questions etc.

The standardisation process

The test raw scores have been standardised so that the mean average of the sample is 100, with a standard deviation of 15. The standard deviation is the measure of the spread of scores away from the mean; usually in educational assessments, this is set as 15 for one standard deviation. Normal distribution suggests that around 68% of scores are within one standard deviation (i.e. 85-115).

HeadStart Primary Content Domain Mathematics Tests Teachers’ Notes Year 1

Introduction - about the tests

The HeadStart Primary Mathematics Tests have been developed to help teachers assess children’s progress against the matters, skills and processes (grouped here as ‘objectives’) contained in the programmes of study for the mathematics curriculum.

In Year 1, there are 6 distinct content domains. This is for organisational purposes but the National Curriculum stresses the importance of making necessary mathematical concept connections across the domains.

There are 3 tests for each domain - TEST A, B and C. The content of each test is purposely very similar so that it is possible to assess children’s progress over the year, on a like-for-like basis. It is not intended that all 3 tests are completed for every domain. Individual schools will choose to organise the delivery of the maths programmes of study in line with their overall curriculum design. The HeadStart Primary Tests are designed to fit any curriculum organisation.

It may be, for example, that in Year 1, a school chooses to teach and assess the first 3 ‘NUMBER’ domains every term, but decides to spread the teaching of FRACTIONS, MEASUREMENT and GEOMETRY across the 3 school terms. This could mean that the first 3 ‘NUMBER’ domains are tested every term, but the remaining 3 domains are only tested once in each term over the year. This is only one possible model, and all permutations of domain teaching and assessing are available, depending on the requirements of the school.

The domains are:NUMBER - Number and place valueNUMBER - Addition and subtractionNUMBER - Multiplication and divisionNUMBER - FractionsMEASUREMENTGEOMETRY - Properties of shapes / Position and direction

Timetabling - when to administer the tests

The tests have been designed to assess a thorough content coverage of each domain. The statutory objectives are assessed, almost without exception. (A small number of objectives are related to a practical activity that cannot be assessed using a paper-based test.)

Much of the non-statutory guidance is also covered and assessed, since this often underpins the conceptual understanding of the statutory objectives. The main purpose of testing should be a formative one, and only a comprehensive coverage of the curriculum can lead to meaningful assessment for learning, performance analysis and future planning.

The tests have been designed to provide maximum flexibility regarding when they should be carried out. It is for schools to decide upon the optimum testing frequency in order to facilitate meaningful data analysis, without overloading the curriculum with formal assessments.

Children’s progress can be measured against age-related expectations. The system incorporates identification of 6 stages; Emerging, Developing, Progressing, Secure, Mastering and Exceeding.

Progress can be tracked at any time throughout the school year. Although it is possible to track progress after the completion of each test, an overall judgement made every term would present a clear indication of children’s performance. The test scores can be recorded and converted for tracking purposes, at an appropriate point, according to the policy of the school. The information gleaned from making a tracking judgement once a term would be wholly appropriate for reporting to parents and as evidence in Ofsted inspections.

Administration - how to manage the tests

Ideally, the class teacher should administer the tests. This gives an overview of the children’s performance and a picture of any potential misconceptions as the test is being completed. Observing and making note of the way children approach and tackle the questions can be an extremely useful indicator towards future teaching and learning.

The test papers can be photocopied from the book or printed from the CD-ROM. (It is recommended that page 4 of the MEASUREMENT test is copied from the book; if printed from the disc, printer settings can cause variations in line length which may present a problem for question 8.) The pages are numbered for the benefit of the children completing the test. At the bottom of each page, the year group, domain and test is identified. So, ‘Y1: npv - A’ is Year 1, NUMBER - Number and place value, TEST A.

Marking - understanding and using the mark scheme

In Year 1, there are 15 questions in each test. Each question carries a maximum of 2 marks. Ideally, the class teacher should mark the tests. As with the administration of the tests, marking gives a clear picture of necessary next steps on an individual, group and class basis.

Some of the questions have several parts. If the number of parts is even, 1 mark is awarded if half or more of the parts are correct. For example, if a question is comprised of 4 calculations, a child getting 2 or 3 of the calculations correct is awarded 1 mark.

If a question has an odd number of parts, 1 mark is awarded if more than half the parts have a correct answer. For example, a 3-part question would need to have 2 parts correct for the award of 1 mark.

Many questions have only one possible answer but the question still carries 2 marks. Some questions have a definite, correct answer but a child may be awarded 1 mark if appropriate working or method is evident. Since ‘appropriate working or method’ could involve a number of possible strategies, the final judgement on whether to award one mark has been left to the professional judgement of the teacher.

A pencil is needed - any other necessary equipment is detailed at the top of the front cover of each test. Since the primary purpose of the tests is formative, no time limits are set for any of the tests.

Support during the tests

When deciding upon the amount of support that is appropriate, it is important to remember that it is maths and not reading that is being tested. If a child needs to have all or some of the test read to them, this support should be made available. However, it is also necessary to avoid giving too much assistance; this could mean that results do not realistically reflect a child’s progress in maths.

Teachers have an in-depth knowledge of the children in their care and professional judgement is always the best guide, when considering how much support to provide. It may be that the CD-ROM is used in conjunction with a whiteboard to display and read the pages of the test to aclass or group of children.

The most successful approach is achieved by developing a whole school agreement/policy on how much support is appropriate for each year group. This ensures effective moderation across the school year groups.

Tracking - using the tests to track children’s progress

Once a test has been marked, a score out of 30 can be awarded. When a tracking judgement is required, test scores should be converted to a percentage (see page 5 Teachers’ Notes).

The table below can then be used to identify progress against one of the 6 stages. The table uses percentage scores for conversion, so tracking judgements can be made after any number of tests have been completed.

Although it is possible to make a tracking judgement after the completion of just one test, this is not recommended. A termly calculation, made after the completion of a number of tests, will provide more reliable information.

The assessment system is intended to be used by teachers as a tool to support their professional judgement.

NUMBER - Number and place value (24 out of 30)

NUMBER - Addition and subtraction (22 out of 30)

NUMBER - Multiplication and division (20 out of 30)

has a total score of 66 out of 90

Percentage score = ( × 100 ) = 73%

Therefore, a child scoring 73% is working within the 'Average range' in the ‘Secure’ stage. (It is worth noting that the child is close to achieving the ‘Mastering’ stage.)

NB: This data should always be used in conjunction with ongoing teacher assessment.

Using the percentage scoring model to make a tracking judgement

An example

A Year 1 teacher has decided to make a tracking judgement for the children in the class at the end of the autumn term. The children have been taught the content for the following domains and the tests (TEST A versions) have been completed:

NUMBER - Number and place valueNUMBER - Addition and subtractionNUMBER - Multiplication and division

Step 1 Add together the test scores for each child.

Step 2 Find the overall percentage score for each child.

Step 3 Identify the stage achieved from the percentage score.

This means that a Year 1 child scoring as follows:

Test analysis software is also available from HeadStart Primary. Tests can be marked directly into the software; detailed performance analysis is then automatically generated for individuals, groups and classes.

Please visit www.headstartprimary.com for more information.

Every test question is underpinned by a statutory objective or an objective from the non-statutory notes and guidance. There is an objectives grid for each test, on which children’s performance can be recorded. The grids can be enlarged to A3 to make recording easier and clearer.

The objectives have been labelled to match the bullet points in the Year 1 Programmes of Study as follows:

NUMBER - Number and place value (npv 1 – 5)NUMBER - Addition and subtraction (as 1 – 4) NUMBER - Multiplication and division (md 1 – 2)NUMBER - Fractions (f 1 – 2)MEASUREMENT (m 1 – 6)GEOMETRY - Properties of shapes / Position and direction (g 1 – 2)

NB: The multiplication and division objective has been split into md 1 and md 2 to help assess performance on multiplication and division.

The pupil objective record sheet can be used to measure individual performance against each national curriculum objective.

The objectives grids and record sheets can be used, in conjunction with ongoing teacher assessment, to identify which objectives need further reinforcement.

This analysis can be used to inform planning. (Identification of strengths and weaknesses enables teachers to be aware of the necessary emphasis to place on teaching the objectives when they are next met.)

The grids and record sheets can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses of the whole class or groups. Groups might include boys/girls, children with special educational needs, children who have English as an additional language, pupil premium children, high achievers etc.
