Maths

Our Curriculum Intent:

At St. Peter’s, our curriculum intent is to ensure that mathematics is taught daily and that children will have the opportunity to practise their skills across the curriculum. All children are exposed to fluency, reasoning and problem solving tasks in order to deepen their understanding of core mathematical principals. This is supported through a CPA approach or ‘build it, draw it, solve it’. Our curriculum uses White Rose as its basis, however, important concepts are revisited throughout the year. Guided, self-differentiation is widely used to support a growth mindset to mathematics. Children are also taught to recall key mathematical facts through the use of KIRFs (Key instant recall facts) that children use both in school and at home. The use of outdoor learning is promoted throughout the school to support the use of mathematics outside of the classroom and to promote a positive attitude to maths and build the children’s confidence.
