Maths

Intent, Implementation and Impact

Intent

• To develop confidence, enjoyment ad resilience in maths.
• To develop fluency and understanding of number, shape, quantity and relationships.
• To develop an understanding of maths as a tool for everyday tasks.
• To develop skills in applying mathematical concepts and processes to solve problems.
• To develop understanding of computational concepts and processes.
• To develop reasoning skills to enable children to explain their mathematical understanding.

Implementation

• To ensure full coverage of the maths curriculum we use the White Rose Maths scheme of work throughout the school.
• The school has well-planned sequences of learning which support and develop children's mathematical skills.
• Maths lessons incorporate opportunities for fluency, reasoning and problem solving.
• All lessons are planed to include challenge and support appropriate for the needs of the children.
• Concrete and pictorial representations are used to support understanding of mathematical concepts.
• Formative assessment takes place during lessons in order to tackle misconceptions and to inform weekly planning.
• Summative assessment takes place twice per year.

Impact

• The vast majority of children meet end of year and end of key stage expectations.
• Children are independently able to apply their mathematical skills to increasingly complex and real problems.
• Children are able to tackle reasoning and problem solving with increased confidence, fluency and enjoyment.
• Children apply their mathematical knowledge and understanding to other areas of the curriculum.
