At Ashleigh Primary School, it is our intent that all children will become confident, successful Mathematicians who are resilient and solution seeking. Our children will have a thorough understanding of Mathematics and the mathematical world around them. Our pupils are at the centre of everything we do in Mathematics.
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
At Ashleigh, we use White Rose Maths which enables us to increase each child’s confidence in maths through a varied and integrated approach whilst ensuring the process is both enjoyable and purposeful. Maths lessons take place for at least 5 hours each week. This may be as a daily lesson or could be blocked over a morning to allow longer investigative work to take place.
Understanding of concepts is developed in several ways:
Mathematical knowledge, skills and understanding are therefore taught through a variety of activities including:
Opportunities to extend concepts and apply knowledge across the curriculum are readily taken; as is the use of ICT to support and facilitate learning. We expect children to learn multiplication tables both by rote and as instant recall of multiplication and division facts
