Welcome to our Mathematics page

In Maths, we aim as a school to teach the underlying skills required to tackle increasingly challenging mathematical problems as children progress through

the school. All classes learn and revisit place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division regularly to allow them to embed knowledge and apply

these methods across other areas.

As a school we follow the WhiteRose maths scheme. This gives us a strong coverage of all of the areas of the curriculum at the correct level for each year group. We also use the Ready-to-Progress criteria along side this to provide children with more opportunity to consolidate the previous year's learning after spending a long time out of school. Links to these documents are below.

In all classes Maths lessons will include elements of fluency, reasoning and problem solving. This allows children to practice the taught skill and apply them in a range of situations. Lessons will include access to physical resources to support all students' understanding- these include but are not limited to: place value counters, dienes (Base 10), bead strings and place value charts.

Children will access learning in a range methods, concrete (actual objects and resources) pictorial (picture/visual representations) and abstract (numerical calculations and word problems) as well as explain their thought processes verbally and using writing prompts. 

Mathletics is becoming part of the next generation in learning as it helps children achieve great results, while enjoying it.

Times table rockstars is a great interactive way to practise your times tables. Children can select different challenges and games to complete, all aimed at improving their recall, accuracy and fluency in their times tables. Classes can be set challenge and tournaments, compete and score points as part of a team. Children should know all of their times tables by the time they are in Year 4. 

Numbots is a new and exciting addition to TTRS. It is designed for younger children and works on basic number facts. This includes counting on number lines, 100 squares and with images, being able to add numbers within 10 and 20, number bonds to 10, 20 and 100, and many more challenges for young learners. Work your way through the levels and see how many stars you can earn.
