Mathematics

We aim to provide high quality mathematics to ensure that our children are equipped for everyday life, science and technology. We expect them to be developing fluency in the fundamentals of mathematics: developing reasoning in mathematics and also developing their problem solving skills. We teach the four basic operations (+ -x ÷) through informal and formal methods. Children also learn about number bonds and are expected to know their times tables by Year 4. We are adopting a mastery approach to teaching maths based around White Rose maths hub planning. A key focus of this is to ensure that all children across a range of ages and abilities have opportunities to reason with mathematical concepts, often using concrete objects or pictorial representations to support their thinking.
