1stClass@Number 1 trains a teaching assistant and a link teacher to successfully implement an evidence-based maths intervention to children in Key Stage 1.
The intervention programme comes ready-made with detailed lesson plans and extensive resources. This course will train a teaching assistant to deliver 30 half-hour sessions to a group of up to four Y2 children who need support to achieve the Y1 expectations.
The lessons focus on number and calculation, developing children’s mathematical understanding, communication and reasoning skills.
A parcel delivery theme runs throughout, engaging children in real-life contexts that are both stimulating and fun.
Each topic starts with a simple assessment that helps the teaching assistant tailor sessions to the children’s needs.
