Remember that there are mixed-age plans for Power Maths aligned with the White Rose Maths mixed-age plans. The main aim of these plans is to allow teachers to cover the same topic with both groups as often as possible. They cater for Y2/3 and Y4/5 as well as Y1/2, Y3/4, and Y5/6. While using these plans, teachers can use the resources for assessment and gap-filling as described here. Watch the Power Maths mixed-age teaching webinar for detailed guidance and tips. Your mixed-age plans can be found in ActiveLearn Primary. (Click the Planning tile and scroll down to Mixed Age Planning 2020.)
