Maths

Intent

The Intent of our maths curriculum is to:

• Equip children with the skills to become confident, competent and fluent mathematicians.
• Enable children to reason critically and problem solve confidently.
• Equip children to be confident with applying their mathematics to real-life contexts so they can apply their learning to the wider world.

Implementation

• We follow the National Curriculum and Early Years Development Matters.
• We follow the White Rose scheme of learning (adapted for individual class needs).
• We have a progression of skills and knowledge document which also outlines the key vocabulary in each year group.
• We have a bespoke calculation policy which outlines the teaching sequence of each operation.
• We use UFOs and Fluent in Five to increase competence with calculations and key year group objectives.
• We use quality resources to scaffold and stimulate children’s learning.
• We give children the opportunity to access reasoning and problem solving at their level.
• We emphasise the learning of multiplication facts as these are the basis of good mathematical calculations.
