We've had a series of team meetings this term where we've had the chance to share our data in maths. Alongside this our 'hunches' as to why behind the results. As a team we agreed that in our efforts to teach basic fundamentals in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division we didn't branch enough into the 'ratio and proportions' area. This meant our gloss testing showed a specific weakness in the solving of problems relating to fractions that sits in ratio and proportions.
Also - linking back to previous posts, the only going development needed in students being able to interpret word problems and be 'explain' ready when they do solve them!
Below I have data of my target students as of the end of term 2.

Green movement up - still not accelerated however. Yellow no movement and red - slipped back. This is based on gloss testing.
