Maths

Students will master the understanding of numbers, counting, and place value, which forms the foundation for all future mathematical learning.

Lessons will include a focus on understanding and working with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, ensuring children have a solid grasp of numerical relationships.

We teach a wide variety of strategies to approach basic operations, from mental arithmetic to written methods.

Children will learn how to apply addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to real-world problems, using both practical activities and word problems to deepen understanding.

Students will develop a strong understanding of how fractions, decimals, and percentages relate to one another and will be able to confidently convert between them.

Real-life applications, such as understanding money, measurements, and proportions, will be incorporated to make learning engaging and meaningful.

Lessons will cover the properties of shapes, including 2D and 3D figures, angles, symmetry, and transformations, with hands-on activities to help visualise these concepts.

Measurement, including length, mass, capacity, and time, will be taught in practical and relatable ways to ensure children can apply these skills outside of the classroom.

Problem-solving is central to our approach, with children being encouraged to explore different methods to solve mathematical problems, developing flexibility in their thinking.

Students will also focus on explaining their reasoning, improving their ability to articulate how and why they have solved a problem in a particular way, which is a critical skill for maths assessments.
