At our school, we believe that every child can become a confident and successful mathematician. Our mathematics curriculum is designed to develop fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills through engaging, practical and meaningful learning experiences. We encourage children to think mathematically, make connections between concepts and apply their knowledge to real-life situations. By building secure foundations and fostering a positive attitude towards mathematics, we aim to inspire curiosity, resilience and confidence, enabling all pupils to achieve their full potential and develop skills that will support them throughout their education and beyond.
We follow the White Rose Maths Scheme.
Key Principles of White Rose Maths:
- Mastery Approach: Ensures children understand a concept deeply before moving on to the next topic.
- Small Steps: Lessons are broken down into manageable, logical stages that build upon each other.
- CPA Method: Children learn through Concrete (using physical objects like counters), Pictorial (drawing diagrams like bar models), and Abstract (numbers and symbols) methods.
- Number Focus: Early years focus heavily on building strong number sense
Key points:
- We believe that every child can achieve.
- Small steps build a solid foundation of deep mathematical understanding.
- We builds pupils’ mathematical fluency without the need for rote learning.
- New concepts are introduced using the Concrete-Pictorial- Abstract (CPA) approach
- Pupils learn to think mathematically to find patterns, connections and relationships between different concepts.
