Mathematics
Aim: That pupils develop fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills
We have designed a vocabulary rich curriculum that connects learning by building an understanding of ideas, concepts, chronology and themes through the framework of ‘here, there and then, now, next’. These thinking threads link learning meaningfully to create opportunities to learn from the past and present as well as equipping children for an ever-changing and exciting future.
As a mathematician, we solve problems that reflect the here and now, building on mathematical concepts from then, to prepare for the challenges of next, applying logical reasoning across different contexts.
At Halwin we use the White Rose Maths and Oak Academy schemes. The core of these is the maths mastery approach, which focuses on depth rather than acceleration, ensuring that key concepts are fully grasped before moving on.
Learning of number is supported by the Mastering Number and Number Sense programmes.
We also subscribe to Maths Whizz and Times Tables Rockstars for children from Y2 onwards.
