Maths

We use the National Curriculum to guide our Mathematics teaching. We use a range of materials to support the teaching and learning. We ensure that there is clear progression and have a detailed calculation policy to ensure that there is a consistency teaching to different concepts and strategies. We provide a range of cross curricular opportunities for children to apply their mathematical skills and knowledge. We believe that all children should develop skills in mastery so that their understanding is embedded in a range of contexts.

We use the online Times Tables Rock Stars programme, where children are able to compete against their own score and friends to improve their multiplication knowledge. When it comes to times tables, speed AND accuracy are important – the more facts children remember, the easier it is for them to do harder calculations. Times Table Rock Stars is a fun and challenging programme designed to help master the times tables! To be a Times Table Rock Star you need to answer any multiplication fact up to 12×12 in less than 3 seconds!
