Maths Curriculum<\/span><\/h2>\n

We primarily teach Maths using the Maths No Problem scheme, an approach to teaching maths developed in Singapore. Problem solving, fluency and relational understanding are at the heart of the scheme. It uses the Concrete Pictorial Abstract (CPA) approach and allows pupils to spend enough time to fully explore a topic, reinforcing it with practice, before moving onto the next one. All ideas are built on previous knowledge and pupils have ample opportunity to develop relationships between topics. We also use materials from the White Rose Maths scheme, to provide additional challenge and support activities, and to support our remote learning.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Lessons typically are broken into four parts:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The In Focus Task \u2013 the entire class spends time on a question guided by the teacher. The children are encouraged during this time to think of as many ways as possible to solve the question as possible.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. New Learning \u2013 the teacher introduces and explains the new learning for the lesson.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Guided Practice \u2013 children practice new learning in groups, pairs or individually guided by the teacher.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Independent Practice \u2013 practice on your own. Once children have mastered the concept they use their reasoning and problem-solving skills to develop their depth of learning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
