Overcoming barriers in mathematics – Level 2 / 3 Support for Year 2 teachers – Challenging more able pupils The PNS Overcoming barriers in mathematics – level 2/3 are to support Year 3 and Year 4 teachers, using Year 3 and Year 4 objectives. These materials could also be used by Year2 teachers to challenge more able pupils and support them in achieving level 3 at the end of KS1. The following guidance has been put together by leading teachers to allow this to happen.
