Mathematics Policy

We use the White Rose Scheme of Work to develop understanding, as it ensures that key skills are being taught in a logical order that enable prior skills to be implemented within other areas of mathematics. Mathematical units follow a CPA (concrete, pictorial, abstract) approach. Manipulatives are available to use in all classrooms to help promote independence and understanding. We aim to ensure that all pupils:
• become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics,
• reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry,
• can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine
problems.

Class teachers provide daily maths lessons, with additional shorter sessions of maths being taught 2 times each week, giving opportunities for pupils to consolidate, re-visit mathematical skills and further develop number sense, for example, practising multiplication facts. This mastery approach, involving ‘overlearning’, helps children commit facts and methods to their long-term memory.
