Mathematics

The school follows the National Curriculum for number, measurement, geometry and in Year two statistics, using Numicon and Longman resource programmes. Children are taught to use the four rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as appropriate and to learn from practical mathematical activities e.g. measurement, weight, capacity, time, money. We teach children to use and apply their mathematical knowledge and to build confidence and develop their problem-solving, fluency and investigation skills. Extra opportunities are created to encourage children to use their mathematical skills e.g. book shop, selling ice cream to the children, collecting and counting tokens and shape walks. The PTA have recently purchased us a support IT programme for mathematics and each child has a unique log in which can be accessed at home and at school.
