We use the White Rose Maths scheme across the school for the planning, delivery and assessment of mathematics.
The scheme is beneficial as it caters brilliantly to mixed-age classes.
White Rose offers our pupils the opportunity to explore mathematics, both calculation and reasoning, allowing them to try different methodology when problem solving.
Times Table Rock Star Day!!!
On Friday 27th October the whole school had an awesome, rocking time re-launching Times Table Rock Stars! All of the staff and children thoroughly enjoyed dressing up as their favourite rock stars, the outfits were amazing!
Times Table Rock Stars is an online platform that is a great way to help children learn their times tables and improve their speed of recall, in a fun and engaging way, through individual and group games!
Throughout the day, we all took part in rock-tastic games both on and off the computers. We worked in small groups and in pairs to solve times table challenges, play games and further our knowledge and speed with times tables.
Below, you will find a link for the free White Rose 1 Minute Maths App. Primarily aimed at KS1, this app is a great way to support your child at home with their fluency in maths.
We are taking part in the National for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) project to support the teaching of basic maths skills in our school. Mastering Number, aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense (a deep understanding of number) for all children in EYFS and Key Stage 1. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 and begin KS2 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Research shows that children with secure ‘number sense’ early on will make more progress later on in Maths and across the curriculum. KS1 pupils have 4 ‘Mastering Number’ sessions per week, in addition to their Maths lesson. Over the year, the children will experience using a range of resources and representations, including a small abacus-like piece of equipment called a rekenrek.We are taking part in the National for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) project to support the teaching of basic maths skills in our school.
