Mathematics
We want children to leave our school as confident mathematicians with high levels of fluency, with a secure understanding of number.
We have selected the power maths curriculum as an approach with high levels of use and application of context-driven maths.
Supplemented by a fluency curriculum derived from Assertive mentoring and TT Rock stars. Children benefit from daily overlearning to embed knowledge in long-term memory and reduce cognitive load. We follow the sequence from power maths and introduce new learning so that it builds on prior teaching in order that children understand new concepts.
Teacher’s consistency use modelling to support the learning of new concepts and children are given a significant amount of time to consolidate new learning through practise. Throughout the lesson, feedback is ongoing to extend children where appropriate or to give teachers opportunities to address misconceptions.
