We believe that mathematics is important in everyday life and to be successful mathematicians, we provide our children the opportunity to build on prior knowledge, develop their resilience when presented with challenges whilst shaping positive attitudes towards the subject. 

​

Our aim is to develop all pupils’ mathematical thinking, fluency and reasoning skills through high quality, daily lessons by delivering the mastery approach. Through this, we develop children’s ability to problem solve, reason as well as think and work systematically. Our curriculum caters for the needs of all individuals as well as providing challenge which sets our pupils up to be confident, flexible mathematicians. The CPA approach (concrete, pictorial, abstract) allows children to have hands-on learning through manipulatives that encourages mathematical thinking, development of language and steadily builds deeper understanding.

By using the mastery approach, we have a focus on developing fluency, reasoning and problem solving skills. We break our lessons down into small steps which secures knowledge of concepts. Questioning is used to deepen understanding and develop mathematical connections and fluency. Stem sentences, using mathematical language, allows children to verbalise and explain their thinking.
