Strands are comprehensive clusters of mathematical topics that allow students to progress independently within each strand, reducing any frustration or anxiety associated with numeracy challenges. This approach enables precise targeting of areas of difficulty, supporting tailored intervention.
IDL Numeracy by Strand is organised into 11 distinct strands, each covering a range of mathematical concepts mapped to the National Curriculum. The strands are:
Each strand is divided into five levels, aligned with different age groups. This ensures that the lessons are challenging but achievable and allows students to progress at their own pace.
IDL Numeracy by Strand also features:
- Interactive demonstrations and guidance to support pupils as they work through the lessons
- A placement test to assess a learner’s knowledge within each strand
- Progress tracking reports to help teachers identify areas of weakness and highlight successes
- A traffic light system to alert teachers to areas of difficulty and provide in-programme practice
IDL Numeracy by Strand is a powerful and effective tool that can help students of all abilities improve their numeracy skills. If you are interested in a free school trial of IDL Numeracy by Strand, you can register here or contact us.
