Mathematics
Implementation
At Christ Church CE Primary School children have access to a high quality, sequential maths mastery curriculum following the Power Maths ‘White Rose Edition’ Scheme, that is both challenging and enjoyable and responds to the needs of the children. This provides teachers with a consistent small steps to teaching mathematics using multiple representations showing there are different ways you can solve a problem. The scheme is mapped against the National Curriculum to ensure a broad and balanced curriculum. It allows teachers to demonstrate thinking using a rich mathematical vocabulary. Children share their ideas, talking through their thinking, demonstrating their understanding of mathematical vocabulary as memory is a residue of thought.
Our Progression documents provide an overview of the development of concepts across the primary years.
These allow subject leaders to have an overview of the progression of concepts over time and allow class teachers to know what children have learnt previously and how the learning continues subsequently.
Our Calculation policies outline in more detail which concepts and procedures / strategies will be introduced and then developed, following the CPA approach allowing teachers to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of every child.
Each year group has a one-hour daily Mathematics lesson which usually takes place in the morning. Children work both collaboratively and independently solving problems which require them to persevere and develop resilience. Teachers and TAs may have focus children in which they support and guide at some point during the lesson. These children may be SEND children, border line in relation to age related expectations or more able children. To support learning further, each classroom displays a working wall containing pictorial representations, methods and useful vocabulary.
Children with additional needs are included in whole class lessons and teachers provide scaffolding and regular support as necessary. Pre-teach sessions may be used as an intervention to ensure that prior learning in consolidated and new learning introduced. For those children working outside of the year group curriculum, individual learning activities are planned to ensure their progress.
The children’s knowledge and understanding is assessed regularly using end of unit assessments and half termly assessments which highlight any misconceptions or gaps in learning so teacher’s are able to support children to overcome these. To support our maths lessons, additional fluency sessions are taught in Number Ninjas, where children can consolidate and develop fluency and pace by using formal written methods, recalling number facts and times tables. KS1 follow use the Mastery in Number programme to embed their number bonds. In KS2, a greater emphasis has been placed on the teaching of times tables in preparation for the statutory assessments for Y4. Children complete weekly times tables activities with the aim of beating their score each week. Times Tables Rockstars is used to reinforce this.
As a school we are supported by the maths hub in our sustaining mastery group. This gives the maths lead and teachers access to regular CPD to ensure teachers have ensure good maths subject knowledge and pedagogical subject knowledge. Furthermore, we have carried out a number of in house CPD sessions based on the different elements of the mastery approach. Leaders monitor the provision of maths through learning walks in maths sessions, book and planning scrutiny and pupil voice, and the impact of this provision through the analysis of (i) end of year cohort data (end of KS1and 2 maths) and (ii) individual pupil attainment and progress throughout the year (on going assessments).
Impact
By the end of KS1 we expect the vast majority of our children to have developed confidence and mental fluency with whole numbers, counting and place value including working with numerals, words and the four operations.
By the end of Year 4 we expect the vast majority of our children to have:
* Become increasingly fluent with whole numbers and the four operations, including number facts and the concept of place value.
* Developed efficient written and mental methods and perform calculations accurately with increasingly large whole numbers.
* Developed their ability to solve a range of problems, including with simple fractions and decimal place value.
- Memorised their multiplication tables up to and including the 12 multiplication table and show precision and fluency in their work.
By the end of Year 6, we expect the vast majority of our children to:
* Be fluent in written methods for all four operations, including long multiplication and division, and in working with fractions, decimals and percentages.
* Have deep conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply mathematical knowledge rapidly and accurately.
* Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, using their knowledge of relationships and generalisations, and justify using mathematical language.
* Solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
