Maths Curriculum

Maths helps us to measure, organise and make sense of our world. It helps us with planning, designing, problem solving, analysing and managing our day to day world.

In our teaching of Mathematics, we aim to promote the understanding of mathematical concepts as well as improving skills. Children should be able to apply mathematical knowledge and understanding in real life situations as well as develop fluency, problem solving and mathematical reasoning skills.
 
​
In key stage 1 children spend a minimum of one hour per day working on maths in keeping with the National Curriculum year group expectations and developing their understanding of concepts in Number, Measurement, Geometry and Statistics. They are taught to apply increasingly complex skills, vocabulary and strategies to solve problems. We follow the White Rose Maths scheme to teach a Mastery approach in maths, where children develop a deep understanding of maths by using concrete objects, pictorial representations and abstract thinking.

In Nursery and Reception, mathematics is taught as part of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. The children are taught maths daily and maths is embedded and enhanced through continuous provision both inside and outside the classroom and through outdoor learning. Children are taught to count, understand and use numbers, calculate simple addition and subtraction problems and describe shapes and measures. The children work towards the Early Learning Goals in maths, which are split into Number and Numerical Patterns and are assessed in the final term of Reception. 
We also use the Mastering Number Programme from the NCTEM across school. This is additional to our main maths teaching. Through the programme the children from Reception to Year 2 develop a solid number sense, including fluency and flexibility with number facts. This is a taught teacher-led session of 10 to 15 minutes four times a week.
