Maths

Intent

At Knavesmire, our Intent is that every pupil accesses a broad and balanced mathematical experience through the statutory framework for the early years foundation stage and the national curriculum. Maths is presented as a challenging, exciting, creative and relevant subject. We believe that practical and outdoor activities help children to develop and understand a range of mathematical concepts.  

Impact

All pupils develop resilience and creativity which opens doors academically for future learning. Confidence through a broad, balanced and purposeful maths curriculum enables future success; delivering the school values of Knavesmire Character.  

Implementation

We use the National Curriculum Mathematics Programme of Study for the teaching of Maths which is divided into number, measurement, geometry, statistics, ratio and proportion and algebra.  

Our planning is predominantly based on ensuring every child accesses our broad and balanced curriculum regardless of ability. To support this, the Maths Hub White Rose Scheme of learning is used to support pupil’s understanding of all areas of mathematics. 

However, planning across school is based on individual and class needs so planning can be altered at the teacher’s discretion.
