At Marsh Gibbon, our Mastery Maths Curriculum has been developed to ensure that every child can achieve excellence in maths.

Intent

To build upon children’s knowledge and understanding from year 1 to year 6.
To become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics.
To develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly.
To reason and problem solve by applying mathematics to a variety of increasingly complex problems.
To foster the Growth Mindset traits of being resilient and showing determination, giving all children the ability to reason and problem solve with confidence.
To foster a love of learning and create a sense of enthusiasm for maths

Implementation

Daily maths lessons starting with a Flashback 4 including extra time dedicated to the securing the children’s fluency with mental maths
Small, coherent steps are planned for allowing all children to access each objective
Reasoning and problem-solving activities regularly built into lessons
Lessons are well planned and resourced to ensure there is appropriate challenge for all learners

Impact

Children are able to independently apply their knowledge to a range of increasingly complex problems
Children are reasoning with increased confidence and accuracy
Children are confident in their own learning and actively participate in mathematical discussions showing an understanding and enjoyment of maths

All of these combine together as the children explore connections and solve problems for the first time - building a love of learning by succeeding together.
