Maths

At Christ Church we strive for our children to be competent in the three core areas of maths:

* Fluency

* Problem Solving

* Reasoning

Lessons are based upon the White Rose Maths scheme which has been developed by experts in the field of Mathematics.  The scheme follows a Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract approach which allows children to become confident mathematicians.  The files below show the objectives covered in each year group.  Teachers may adapt the order of the objectives covered throughout the year in order to personalise learning to their individual classes.  However, all objectives will be covered during the academic year. 

This year our EYFS and Key Stage 1 children will also be taking part in an exciting project funded by the DFE and NCETM called Mastering Number.  The sessions will take place in each class four times per week and aim to develop and embed the fluency skills of the children.

In Reception children are taught using the Early Learning Goals Number and Shape, Space and Measure.  Their achivements are tracked and shared using online Learning Journeys.

Through Mathematics we interweave our drivers in as many ways as possible.  For example:

Communicators children will use their communication skills to understand and answer Problem Solving and Reasoning questions

Explorers children will explore the relevance and real life links that mathematics has to their daily lives.

Readers we encourage children to read new vocabulary relating to mathematics.  They will understand the meaning of key terminology and this will progress.

Believers children will be confident mathematicians who have the belief and resilience to grapple and persevere to complete Mathematical problems
