Ten Minute Maths Assessments closely matches the Primary framework & also ties in extremely well with the Williams interim review which states 'A renewed & sharper focus on the use of mental mathematics would be beneficial, & would particularly help under-attaining groups of children'. The tests are quick & easy to administer & would provide a 'snap shot' of where each pupil is
- perfect for on-going periodic assessment introduced as part of APP. Andrew has analysed the Primary Mathematics framework carefully & worked out the number of learning objectives that can be successfully tested in each year group. By taking the framework & breaking it down into small 'steps for learning' each test focuses on what the pupils are actually learning in class. The teacher can then give the test to a group of pupils, who have been working on one of these steps, to monitor their progress. The teacher records the results on the assessment grid &, over a period of time, builds a clear picture of each pupil's NC level. This approach is very much the thrust of the latest developments in assessment: Assessment for Learning, Assessing Pupils' Progress.

Ten Minute Spelling Tests are easy to use & are designed to take some of the pain out of delivering spelling tests. Pupils are provided with a strip of 'words of the week' to learn, which in most cases would be given out as homework. The spelling test then takes the form of dictated sentences or paragraphs read aloud on the audio CD. This also helps with pupils understanding of words as they are set within a context. The pupil worksheets feature exactly the same sentences or paragraphs with gaps for the target words, which the pupils then fill in. All the target words are matched to the Primary Framework & ' Letters & sounds'. Using the results of the tests, teachers can build a clear profile of the pupils' spelling levels & in this way monitor progress. This ties in well with the current move towards Assessment for Learning & on-going assessment of pupils' progress (APP). ...
