At Churchfields we believe all children can enjoy and excel in maths. We help nurture a deep understanding of maths through a mastery approach: breaking down learning into small steps, using different representations and encouraging problem solving and reasoning skills in addition to fluency.
We follow ‘White Rose Maths’ for our teaching across years one to six. An overview of how knowledge and skills are progressed in our school is given below along with a link to the mixed-age planning resources we use. All these documents are current for academic year 2022-23, despite any other dates noted on the documents which indicates only when they were written.
Did you know most people’s financial habits are formed by the time they are 7 years old? We are looking this important practical application of maths in a cross-curricular way focusing both on maths skills of coin recognition and calculating with money and our relationships with money and financial wellbeing.
