Our Intent
To build a strong mathematical foundation from EYFS to Year 6, helping children to:
- Mirrors: Recognise their own progress and relate maths to their daily lives.
- Windows: Understand how math is used across different cultures and in the wider world.
- Doors: Explore new concepts, solve increasingly complex problems, and develop a love for the subject.
Our goal is to develop fluency, conceptual understanding, and the ability to apply maths confidently and creatively.
Implementation
- Daily Lessons: Begin with a ‘Flashback 4’ to revisit previous learning, with extra focus on mental maths fluency.
- Step-by-Step Progression: Small, carefully planned steps ensure all children can access each objective.
- Reasoning & Problem-Solving: Regular activities encourage children to think critically and justify their reasoning.
- Challenge & Support: Lessons are resourced to provide appropriate challenge for all learners, promoting resilience and growth mindset.
Impact
- Children can independently apply their maths knowledge to solve problems of increasing complexity.
- Their reasoning skills grow in confidence and accuracy.
- Pupils actively participate in discussions, demonstrating understanding and enjoyment of maths.
- Children develop a love of learning through success, perseverance, and teamwork.
