In school, each year group follows the White Rose Maths scheme (version 3) to sequence learning in their Maths lessons throughout each term. Version 3's progressive steps are clear, include more direct revisiting of previous years’ work to close gaps caused by the pandemic and align even more closely with the DFE’s ready-to-progress criteria.
EYFS and KS1 children also follow the Mastering Number programme. This project aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2.
In order to see how we teach each of the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, please see our Calculation Policy for detailed examples and guidance.
Maths Yearly Overviews
Our yearly overviews are set by White Rose however, teachers have the ability to change the order of some of the units if it meets the needs of their class. All of our units are sequenced and progressive, year on year.
Maths Interventions
All of our children have access to the National Curriculum through high quality teaching of the White Rose scheme. However, some children may need additional support/interventions to help to bridge gaps in their learning. To assist with this, we use Plus One, The Power of 2, Five Minute Box and Mastering Number.
Homework
In reception and year 1 we encourage the children to practise their number skills using One Minute Maths, which can be downloaded via the App Store, Google Play and Amazon Kindle.
In year 2 onwards, we set weekly maths homework via Mathletics. Each child has a personal login and homework will be set based on their learning in lessons from that week. We celebrate children receiving certificates each week on our Mad4Mathletics board in our hall. To get their name on the board they have to get 1000 points in a week.
TIMES TABLES
Learning times tables can be fun. The best way to learn them is through songs: play them in the car, download them to your devices, sing them in the park!
