Mathematics
Mathematics provides a way of viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to analyse and communicate information and ideas and to tackle a range of practical tasks and real life problems.
Mathematics is not only taught because it is useful. It should also be a source of delight and wonder, offering pupils intellectual excitement and an appreciation of its essential creativity.
The areas covered by the National Curriculum in mathematics are:-
number
measures
geometry
statistics
We use White Rose Maths and Mastery of Number to deliver the National Curriculum for Mathematics as effectively as possible to all of our pupils
For young children in addition to scheme work the exploration and enrichment of basic concepts occurs through a range of practical activities often related to experiences in other subject areas.
We differentiate the work for appropriate levels of ability.
Children need to learn the three basic methods of calculation.
using mental skills
using pencil and paper
using a calculator where appropriate.
