mathematics
In Maths we equip the children with a foundation for understanding number, reasoning, thinking logically and problem solving. We aim to develop children’s fluency, confidence and resilience in their understanding of number and their calculation skills, allowing children to make better sense of the world around them by making connections between mathematics and everyday life.
Our resources and the use of White Rose Maths support our vision and clearly outline where maths can be incorporated across different curriculum areas. The structure of the mathematics curriculum across school shows clear progression in line with age related expectations. Teaching curriculum content in blocks allows children to explore skills and knowledge in depth and gain a secure understanding of particular subject matter. Key knowledge and skills are also revisited regularly allowing repetition to embed learning. A concrete, pictorial, abstract approach provides children with a clear structure in which they can develop their depth of understanding of mathematical concepts. We aim to ensure that mathematics is a subject which children view positively and with a ‘Can do’ attitude.
