Understanding Students with Lower Prior Attainment
Chapter 1
This section focuses on the language of ability and attainment and what we mean when we describe students as low prior ability or attaining.The purpose of this is to establish a shared language as a team to ensure high expectations for all students.
Next
Low Prior Attainment
Why is it important that we differentiate between attainment and ability?

During this training we will be exploring how we adapt lessons for the success of all students.This will include how you will plan to run lesson tasks.
- What you will say
- What you expect students to do
The study found that good explicit & direct instruction had the biggest impact on supporting LPA students.

Key Takeaways:
Chapter 1Review
Attainment is not fixed
- Ability is often considered innate and therefore use of the word can imply that it is fixed.
- Attainment can improve and thereore use of the word can lead to higher expectations for all students.
- Students' attainment can improve or decrease over time.
- High expectations for all students will also support students with higher prior attainment who are at risk of worsening outcomes.
- There are a number of evidence based strategies that can support this.
Understanding Students with Lower Prior Attainment
In this chapter you focused on the importance of the language used to describe students.The trajectory for different students and strategies to support high expectations for all students were examined.
Distinguishing between LPA and SEND students
Chapter 2
Not all LPA students are students with SEND and not all students with SEND are students with lower prior attainment.This chapter examines what this means for teaching.

Barriers to success
Look at the Develop Learning task below (click to enlarge).
Think of some ideas why students might be unsuccessful when attempting this task?
Write your ideas in the box below, these might include;
- Learning of mathematics
- Classroom norms
- LPA needs
- SEND
The students' behaviours
Classroom norms

Dyslexia
Gaps in knowledge
Barriers to success
Look at the four categories listed below. We have also listed some barriers to successful learning in the pink lozenges but there are many more.Drag the pink lozenges into the category you believe they belong. Some of course may overlap.
Confidence and self-belief
05:00
SEND
Frequent absence from school
Anxiety or depression
Gaps in learning through teacher absence
Dyslexia
Visual impairment
Barriers to success
Low Prior Attaining
Think about a HPA student that also has SEND needs.What do you do to support them?
A child may have not had schooling for the early part of their childhood and so may present as LPA but with the right interventions can catch up.
A student may be dyslexic but with the right support and resources can fully access the curriculum. Similarly, students with mental health problems or physical impairments may also fall behind without having had lower prior attainment.
Any of the elements in the SEND set or the LPA set could sit in the intersection. How we plan for these will go a long way to support students, whether they are LPA or SEND to access the task.
Overcoming barriers to success

Key Takeaways:
Chapter 2 Review
SEND and LPA
SEND and LPA needs are often conflated but it is important to remember that not all SEND students are students with lower prior attainment and should be planned for according to their need.
Distinguishing between students with LPA and students with SEND
In this chapter you examined some of the many barriers that can exist for a student which prevent success.Many of these can be overcome through planning to allow appropriate entry points for students
Knowing the Learning Objectives
Chapter 3
Next
The lesson slide decks always start with a unit overview slide containing the learning objectives for each lesson. In this chapter we will examine using the learning objectives to meet the needs of all students whilst maintaining high expectations for all.We will be looking at Year 7 Unit 11 Lesson 1.
Learning Objectives
Before you begin planning your lesson it is vital that the aims of the lesson are clear
What do you use Learning Objectives for?Look at the statements below, and sort them from most to least important to you.There are no right or wrong answers.
Finding the Learning Objectives
The Unit Overview is the first point of call for finding the Learning Objectives for each unit and lesson within it.Click on the buttons below to explore the Learning Objectives.
Exemplifying Knowledge Expectations
There are multiple places that exemplify what students should know.Two examples of this are the Start of Unit Quiz and the Exit Ticket.Click on eack of them to see how they can be used.
Learning Objectives
05:00
Click on the tasks to enlarge them.Answer the questions alongside them.
Learning Objectives: Lesson 1 - Describing Perimeter
- Be able to work out perimeters of different shapes.
- Understand perimeter as a measure of length expressed in appropriate units.
- Experience connecting perimeter calculations to shapes using axioms of number and algebra.
Where can you see the Learning Objectives in each lesson task?

Look at this Talk Task, click on it to enlarge
You have students that might struggle to get started with this task. What will you say, or do to help them?eg. Giving sentence starters, giving additional examples, questioning prompts, or explaining in a different way
Planning with Learning Objectives in Mind
Look at this Talk Task, click on it to enlarge
1. What is a good answer to this Talk Task?Think about key terminology, full sentences, exemplifying and explaining why
2. You have students that might struggle to get started with this task. What will you say, or do to help them?eg. Giving sentence starters, giving additional examples, questioning prompts, or explaining in a different way
Here are the accompanying notes from the Notes and Guidance page in the slide deck.Read through and compare with your previous answers.
Planning with Learning Objectives in Mind
Here is an example of an adapted Talk Task.Click on each adaptation for more context.
Adaptations for Success
No student should lose out from the adaptions made
Learning Objectives can inform adaptations by:
- Guiding the key concepts of the lesson
- Ensuring you know the minimum that all students should know by the end of the lesson
- Help you understand the purpose of each lesson task
01
Key Takeaways:
No-one should lose out when adaptations are made
The objectives for each lesson should be fulfilled, which will often require you to adapt slides maybe to move more slowly through the material, or by adding in alternative examples and explicit modelling.
Chapter 3 Review
Learning objectives
- The objectives for each lesson can be found in the unit overview slide
- The goals for each task can be found in the Notes and Guidance slide (Year 7)
The plenary and Start of Unit Quiz can also be used to exemplify skills students will need before starting the unit, and the skills all students will have acheived by the end of the lesson.
Knowing the Learning Objectives
In this chapter you have explored how examining the learning objectives can aid planning for success for all students without anyone losing out.
Planning for Success for All
Chapter 4
In this chapter you will plan and adapt a New Learning and Develop Learning slide to ensure success for all your learners

Key Takeaways:
Chapter 4 Review
Planning for Success for All
In this chapter you have examined two lesson tasks and how they might be adapted to support success for all students, including students with LPA and SEND.
Modelling
Your exposition and modelling are key strategies for supporting LPA students.
Use the Notes & Guidance slides to support your adaptations, especially when thinking about teacher exposition and prompting questions.

2. Cognitive & Metacognitive Strategies
- support pupils to recall previously learned content, before they move on to new content?
- help pupils to organise their thinking by ‘chunking’ the content into smaller steps?
- ask metacognitive questions that support pupils to plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning?
This section states the intention of the New Learning from each lesson of the week
Having clear definitions on the board for key terms you will be revisiting throughout the lesson will help students remember themYou could also get the students to write this into their books, chant as a whole class, or print and stick this slide into their books
Definitions
Mathematical Thinking
Students may start to make their own conjectures about how they form the shortest and longest perimeters. If they don't, ask them questions that may encourage this. Physical manipulatives will support students in trying this out.Ask students to try to justify why the shape with the longest perimeter will be formed from joining the shortest edges.
By using both straight and curved lines, the talk task emphasises perimeter as a linear measurement supporting students to understand perimeter as a measure of length.
Talk task
You may want to consider starting the task with a similar question that encompasses the same learning objectives.Here I want to draw the attention to the difference in lengths between a straight and curved boundary, before moving on to a more challenging example.
Building up gradually
Conceptual Understanding
Click here to link to the Unit 11 Area and Perimeter of 2D shapes overview video
Through this purposeful practice task of calculating perimeter, as students rearrange the rectangles to form different compound shapes they will discover that the perimeter changes. They may also recognise that althought the perimeter changes, the area remains the same.
Displaying key words on the board can help minimise the cognitive load for students who might struggle to recall prior tems easily.They can also help guide students to use the correct mathematical language during class discussions
Key Words
Adding prompts that come up on the slide can also help with cognitive load, and act as a reminder for students when attempting the next examples

Maths Mastery is built with success in mind
https://helendrury.com/2021/09/02/origins/
Teachers have high expectations for every single learner, rooted in a belief that anyone can become an excellent mathematician. Teachers reinforce this attitude to build confidence and resilience. Helen Drury
1. Explicit Instruction
- use clear and succinct language when explaining things to pupils, checking their understanding frequently?
- use dual coding (i.e. diagrams, images or tables on a mini-whiteboard) to aid students’ understanding of new content?
- model how to complete a task before expecting pupils to work independently?
Are there any words your students might struggle with?Explaining definitions before beginning a task can help make sure it runs smoothly.
Definitions & Key Terms
They form the basis for developing high-quality assessments for formative and summative purposes.
Learning Objectives
They set student expectations, guide their learning processes, and help them focus their study time.
Clear learning objectives enable teachers and departments to create consistent learning environments, aligning the aims for each lesson.
If you want to check that your students are ready for the New Learning question, you may want to add some additional examples that build up gradually to it.This is a good time to look at the prio knowledge students need from the Start of Unit QuizThese wouldn't necessarily be on the slide all at once, they could be animated to show up one by one, or you may prefer to draw them on a whiteboard to save planning time creating them in powerpoint
Building Up Gradually
Language & Communication
In the Notes and Guidance slide for this Develop Learning we suggest that you offer students different prompt questions to encourage their thinking:“Compare the number of edges on the inside/outside of your shapes.” “Compare the number of long/short rectangle sides on the outside of your shape” “Can you form two different shapes with the same perimeter?'Encourage students to answer these questions in full sentences.
Having prompts for students can ensure that they are boing pointed in the right direction, that they are noticing the important parts of this task.
What are YOU going to say?
They are showed alongside the tasks that accompany each lesson.The lesson objectives can be found in each task, although every task may not encompass every one. By completing the lesson students will have been exposed to all the objectives.
This section goes through the objectives for each lesson
When planning your lessons, the Exit Ticket can provide key information about the learning objectives.By the end of the lesson students should have the neccessary skills and understanding to complete these questions.
Exit Ticket
Coordinating mathematical success: the mathematics subject report
The Ofsted subject review report of June 2023 evaluated the common strengths and weaknesses of mathematics in the schools inspected and considers the challenges that mathematics education faces. In paragraph 69 they found that
i.e. the practice of using prior attainment data informs decisions about curriculum choices for year 11 from year 9 data.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/subject-report-series-maths/coordinating-mathematical-success-the-mathematics-subject-report
5. Using Technology
- utilise technology as part of the delivery of interventions?
- support pupils to use technology to record their learning, i.e. through speech-to-text software?
The New Learning slide is an opportunity to explicitly model calculating a perimeter so that students are able to work out the perimeter of different shapes.In this task they will also experience being aware of the sides of the square and triangle that are not a part of the perimeter of this compound shape.For some students, modelling the calculation using the distributive property of arithmetic would also be appropriate allowing students to experience connecting perimeter calculations to shapes using the axioms of number and algebra.

Running this training as a team...
We recommend that everyone opens the training on their own individual laptops/ computers, with the ML facilitating the discussions and pace.There are discussion opportunities throughout this training, these are signposted by the icon in the bottom left corner. Colleagues may want to input their own responses separately, or you may like to summarise your team discussions in the response boxes.We have included timings to help you keep this training to 1 hour.
These are only our recommened discussion points, but there may be other areas where you might wish to pause and come together to discuss.
Throughout this training there are opportunities to submit your thoughts. Mathematics Mastery will be able to see your responses and they will be connected to the name you entered at the start of the training which ensures your anonymitiy if that is your preference. It is not currently possible for you to download your responses but you could take screenshots as a reminder should you wish. Your responses will be invaluable in informing the future development of the programme.
These set out the overarching objectives for the whole week of lessons
3. Scaffolding
- use scaffolds (visual, verbal, and written) that support pupils to access the learning?
- use scaffolding in a way that reduces pupils’ reliance on adult support, lessening scaffolds over time?
- provide scaffolds in a non-stigmatising way (i.e. providing them for a small group or pair, rather than only for 1 pupil)?
- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
- Consectetur adipiscing elit.
- Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut.
Consectetur adipiscing elit
Lorem ipsum dolor
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod.
Having key words written on the slide can help minimise cognitive load, but also prompt student discussion in the right direction.
Key Words
Think about breaking the question down into smaller chunks.You may want to scaffold the question to make it more accessible.
Adapting the Question
Students continue to demonstrate their undersanding of what they are able to do within this task and what they have understood about perimeter.This lovely task gives students an opportunity to develop their language in reasoning as they explain why Xavier is correct.
Plenary
Ability is not fixed
Althought the term 'ability grouping' is frequently applied in the United Kingdom, in their report on The Achievement Gap, Hodgen et al say: 'We avoid this terminology, which suggests a perception of ‘ability’ as fixed. We refer instead to ‘attainment grouping’.'
achievement gap: The impact of between-class attainment grouping on pupil attainment and educational equity over time https://bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/berj.3838
The National Curriculum Inclusion Statement states that teachers should set high expectations for every pupil, whatever their prior attainment.
High Expectations
See section 4:https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-framework-for-key-stages-1-to-4/the-national-curriculum-in-england-framework-for-key-stages-1-to-4
4. Flexible Grouping
- work with several different pupils, forming temporary groups when several pupils have the same current difficulty?
- promote peer tutoring, facilitating pupils learning from one another?
The start of unit quiz can identify some key prior knowledge that students will need when accessing this unit. If you think students might need additional support with some of the aspects of this unit, ask your Mastery Lead to refer to the PL4 training module on Interventions.
Start of Unit Quiz
In this Low Threshold, High Ceiling purposeful practice, all students can practise calculating the perimeter of different compound shapes and some students can continue to practise and experience the axioms within their calculations.This task also lends itself to Mathematical Thinking as some students start to conjecture as to how they may make the longest and shortest perimeters.
Develop Learning
Planning your own questioning prompts will ensure that you are working with the Learning Objectives in mind.You will be able to guide students to the desired outcome of the task.You may want to include prompts that scaffold, such as 'What do you already know about the side lengths of squares?' and ones that challenge, 'Can you find multiple calculationsto work out the perimeter? '
Questioning Prompts
