Mathematics

Subject Leader: Miss. S. Jackson

Mathematics is an essential life skill and is therefore a vital part of the curriculum at Ireleth St Peters. Mathematics is required for daily life therefore our lessons aim to build on life skills through a practical and varied teaching and learning response.

Mathematics provides a way of viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to communicate and analyse information and ideas to tackle a range of practical tasks and real life problems. We teach Maths through a daily lesson using a variety of teaching and learning strategies, one of which is ‘Big Maths’ which encourages the children to develop an excellent understanding of all aspects of number.

We follow a core curriculum format, returning to each topic with increasing depth and ensuring that every mathematical concept is introduced, reinforced, mastered, consolidated and extended through further investigation. We ensure all children experience appropriate practical and investigative problem solving activities, presented in both oral and written form. EYFS and KS1 are encouraged to develop outdoor skills for Maths and create real life opportunities for learning. We encourage children to learn number bonds and times tables, and become confident in developing their own mental mathematics strategies, this is supported through online resources. Most of all, we encourage children to enjoy Maths and learn to be confident, aspiring and creative mathematicians.

Our Maths curriculum planning is taken from White Rose and Numberblocks (Nursery). Both Schemes cover all key areas of <aths and allow for consolidation.
