In accordance with the National Curriculum, mathematics is taught systematically based on the stages of children’s mathematical development - from early intuitions and using concrete resources; pictorial representations; to the capacity for handling abstract ideas. Our children develop confidence and an ease with number which is then extended to develop their mathematics, problem solving and reasoning skills. 

The White Rose scheme is used across the school focusing on children gaining deeper understanding, confidence and competence in maths and securing real progress. This is all provided within opportunities for problem solving and reasoning throughout. There is also a strong focus on fluency with children completing arithmetic daily as well as investigative work happening weekly across the school to ensure children are developing deeper investigative thought.
