• The Formative assessments assess what the learner can do and where their needs lie
  

• Use the Formative assessments to complete the Catch Up Numeracy learner profile
• Use the learner profile to set target Catch Up Numeracy Levels and to identify an appropriate focus for numeracy teaching

Individual teaching session part 1:
Review and introduction (3 minutes)

• To remind the learner of what was achieved in the previous session and to outline the focus of the current session
  
• To confirm to the learner the number range being used
  
• To introduce and review key vocabulary
  
• To link the focus of the current session to the learner’s mainstream class teaching, where appropriate

Individual teaching session part 2:
Numeracy activity (6 minutes)

• To give an opportunity for the learner to work on the focus of the session in a range of learning styles
  
• To familiarise the learner with vocabulary appropriate to the focus of the session

Individual teaching session part 3:
Linked recording (6 minutes)

• To reinforce the skills learned during part 2 of the Individual teaching session, using writing/recording as an additional approach to learning
  
• To provide focused teaching based on observed miscues

• The record kept of each Individual teaching session and the learner’s Catch Up Numeracy learner profile give valuable information about the learner’s needs and progress
  
• We recommend that progress is also monitored by means of a standardised Number/Maths test at the mid-point and end of the year, as appropriate
