Mathematics

Curriculum Intent

In mathematics, we aim to enrich the children's love and passion for mathematics by providing a stimulating maths curriculum using and adapting the White Rose Maths scheme as a learning resource. The children focus on fluency and recall to ensure new learning is embedded before moving on to applying their knowledge in different ways. All children have access to a variety of challenges.

Implementation

To achieve this,  pupils develop their understanding of number, shape, measure and data handling. Emphasis is placed on mental maths skills and recall of number facts and patterns with additional daily fluency sessions. Pupils are encouraged to apply their mathematical knowledge to problem solving and investigation and to reason and explain their mathematical thinking once fluency and recall are secure.

To support this, we have maths targets across the school so children can reach goals step by step and make progress. We use concrete maths resources daily in every lesson and ensure that the children have access to practical learning whenever possible, including the outdoor learning environment.

To inspire, we plan fun and interactive lessons and use theme days to raise the profile and love for maths.

Impact

We want to enable pupils to see that mathematics can be a way of viewing and making sense of the world and to be able to think logically, use mathematical language with confidence and to enjoy investigating, solving and developing their own methods for calculation.

Cool Math for Kids

Don't forget that maths is all around us! Talk about the shapes you can see, the weather temperature outside, what temperature the clothes are washed at, how long it will take for the washing up to be completed, how much flour is needed to make some cakes, how long they need to be baked for. You can find maths in all that you do!
