Maths

Intent

At St Clement’s we use a mastery approach for teaching Maths.  Mastering maths means pupils acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject.  We strive to ensure that mathematics work is meaningful and purposeful.  We wish pupils to feel confident and competent when using mathematics, to enable them to make sense of the world and to solve real-life problems. 

By the end of KS2, all children at St Clement's Primary School will be fluent in the fundamentals of Maths and will have developed the necessary oracy, reasoning and problem-solving skills required to be a mathematical thinker ready for the next stage of their education.

Implementation

At St Clement’s Maths is taught on a daily basis following the White Rose scheme to ensure progression, coverage and depth of knowledge for all children.  Lessons are enhanced and supported by additional resources such as the NCETM, Mastering Number. 

In Reception class, we use NCETM Mastering Number. Children have the opportunity to work with number and shape, space and measure. We aim to provide engaging indoor and outdoor learning experiences, to develop confidence and secure knowledge and understanding across all areas of the mathematics curriculum.
