Maths

At Beechcroft St Paul's, we follow a Maths Mastery approach to teaching mathematics.

The philosophy and overarching principles of Maths Mastery are that;

  • Success in mathematics for every child is possible.
  • Mathematical ability is not innate, and is increased through effort.
  • To cover topics in depth – developing deep understanding of number sense and place value.
  • Children learn through collaboration. The opportunity to work with others.
  • To support understanding and encourage the development of problem solving and reasoning skills.
  • The ability to solve a calculation is not enough; children must be able to demonstrate and articulate their understanding of the mathematical concept.

Aims of the Mathematics Curriculum

In line with the National Curriculum Objectives for Mathematics, our intent is that through small, carefully planned steps in learning we will:

Develop children’s conceptual, procedural knowledge and build their conditional strategies.
Develop children’s mathematical language by speaking and listening in the classroom.
Simultaneously, nurture the development of children’s disciplinary concepts.
