​Curriculum Intent for Mathematics

The National Curriculum for Maths aims to ensure that all children:
 
  • Become fluent in the fundamentals of Mathematics
  • Are able to reason mathematically
  • Can solve problems by applying their mathematical knowledge
 
Through our mathematics curriculum we aim to ensure that all pupils:
  • develop confidence and enjoyment in exploring and understanding all aspects on mathematics.
  • become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, developing conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
  • reason mathematically using mathematical language
  • can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication.
  • recognise that mathematics is an interconnected subject and are able to move fluently between representations of mathematical ideas, making rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems.
  • have opportunities to apply their mathematical knowledge within science and other subjects
  • develop an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics.
 
Implementation
Our mathematics curriculum is substantially structured around the principles and practice of the White Rose scheme of work.
With a focus on repeated practice to develop secure foundations though KS1, our pupils should be able to organise their knowledge, skills and understanding around the following learning areas:
  • Know and use numbers 
  • Have a secure understanding of place value
  • Add and subtract 
  • Multiply and divide 
  • Use fractions 
  • Understand the properties of shapes 
  • Describe position, direction and movement 
  • Use measures 
  • Use statistics 
  • Use algebra 
  • Use and understand mathematical language
These key concepts underpin learning in a way that enables pupils to reinforce and build upon prior learning, make connections and develop subject specific language. 
 

Mathematics is taught in line with the requirements of the New National curriculum.

Total Recall is an initiative we are introducing to encourage the children to develop the quick recall of number facts that is essential if they are to be successful within the new  National Curriculum for maths.  The children are awarded different colour button badges when they reach certain milestones (in order):
Numbers
Orange: number bonds to 10 (e.g.9+1, 3+7)
Yellow: one more and one less to 20 (e.g. one more than 15, one less than 12)
Green: number bonds to 20(e.g. 18+2, 5+15)
Pink: number bonds to 100 (e.g.54+46, 33+67)
 
Tables
Bronze: 2,5,10 times tables (up to 12x)
Silver: 3,6,4,8 times tables (up to 12x)
Gold: 7,9,11 times tables (up to 12x)
Black: 12 times table and TOTAL RECALL of all previous tables and number bonds.
 
The expectation in the new National curriculum is that all children should know their 2x, 5x and 10x tables by the end of Year 2 and all tables up to 12x12 by the end of Year 4.
 


CHILDREN MUST PRACTISE AT HOME.  They must be quizzed by their class teacher for each badge and Miss Blake or Ms O’Sullivan will double check their fingertip quick number facts for speed and accuracy before a badge is awarded.
Once the children have achieved these badges, there are more to come…
