What does this show and what could
account for these increases?
L6 results: Mathematics
134 schools entered children into the level 6
test. Of the 839 pupils entered into the test,
264 achieved Level 6 (31.5%)
This represents 3.0% of the county’s year 6
cohort. In English the figure was 0.1%
Level 6
Unpicking level 6 Mathematics
The aim of this course is to unpick level 6 mathematics in order to develop the teaching, learning
and assessment of the most able pupils in Y6.
Due to popular demand, additional dates for this course have been added.
Day 1 – Understanding the level 6 content with a focus on Ma2 Number and Algebra.
Day 2 – Developing subject knowledge at level 6 and a moderation activity with other Y6 teachers.

Session 2: Targeting Level 4 through
problem solving
The forgotten combination
A professor is very worried. He has
forgotten the combination to his safe.
All his important papers about his
inventions are in the safe! The
professor can only remember a few
details.
The sixth number is a 7.
The second number is exactly half
the fourth number.
The first number is double the fourth
number.
The third and fifth numbers are the
same and add up to 6.
The first number is one more than
the sixth number.
Can you help the professor to find out
the combination to his safe so that he
can get his papers back?
Objectives
• To become familiar with the ‘Targeting
Level 4 through problem solving’
materials to promote engaging teaching
and learning in the mathematics
classroom
Targeting L4 through
problem solving
• 30 1 hour long lessons
• organised into three sets of 10 lessons
• each of the challenges focuses on learning
particular mathematical knowledge, skills
and concepts, but also provides
opportunities to use them in a problem
solving context.
Targeting Level 4 through
problem solving
• What prior knowledge do the pupils need
to have in order to tackle this problem?
• How could the task be extended to cater
for Level 5/6 pupils?
• How would you support less able pupils?
• What does it mean to ‘do problem solving’?
• What does it look like in the classroom?
• How can you be sure that all your staff are
planning problem solving opportunities?
• What issues might you have with non-specialist
or less experienced staff delivering problem
solving/using and applying tasks?
• Do you mark using and applying tasks? If so,
how?

Next steps
• Consider LA and National data and
compare with your school data
• Cascade targeting Level 4 activities to all
staff
• Consider your approach to the delivery of
problem solving and ensure that it is
consistent across all year groups
