Guest Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I am considering using the cumbria numeracy plans this year and just wondered if anyone else uses them and how to implement them i.e. do you teach all Block A in first half of Autumn term, then block B next, etc or are you supposed to have a mixture each half term............As you can see I'm a bit confused!! There are 36 weeks altogether which are accounted for in the planning sheets so just want to know what to do and when. Thanks in anticipation, Kermit xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_379 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I am using the cumbria plans and have put down to use the blocks in order. However on the Numeracy strategy I believe the only requirement is that block E is the last one the others can be tuaght in any order... correct me someone if I am wrong The plans I downloaded say how many weeks they are ment to cover, I used the mixed year R/1 plans last year as I had a mixed class. So for this half term I am doing block A for 2 weeks, Block B for 3 weeks and Block c for 2 weeks. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tinkerbell Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I agree with Lorna I teach R/yr1 and am using the mixed r/yr1 plan, it tells you which blocks and how many weeks etc Tinkerbellx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 i found when using these last year that i had to add some weeks to get through work and some took less weeks guss depennds on cohort but whats taught in block a is revsited in other blocks i also found it best to stick to order in block a u have two units s i followed block a unit 1 then block a unit 2 thrn moved onto block b i found if i skipped a block some skills had already been introduced in earlier blocks I really do find these plans clear and easy to use ty cumbria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_79 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 We've taught A1 followed by B1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 We've taught A1 followed by B1. I'd agree with that, it's a long enough break before revisiting at a higher level to make sure they have a better chance of retaining the skills and knowledge taught. In theory!
