What is BGfL Maths Booster?
Raising attainment at Key Stage 2 is about finding ways to move smoothly from Levels 3 to 4. However, there are certain mathematical areas which pupils find hardest to learn well - or teachers find hard to teach well. The BGfL Maths Booster is about creating opportunities to bridge the gap in these areas from Level 3 to Level 4.

Where are these gaps?
Birmingham's Athena EAZ have analysed 17,000 separate pieces of pupil data from their six schools in order to identify these areas of weakness. Birmingham Grid for Learning has been bridge-building - initially by creating new resources for pupils, more recently by collecting the web links below to teaching resources - and this year by creating our own teaching resources.

Does Maths Booster work?
Targeted pupils have shown a real improvement of 20% over non-targeted pupils and the BGfL Maths Booster has played a key role in this improvement.
