Mathematics
Our vision for Mathematics at William Lilley:
Our children are independent, confident Mathematicians who have a secure understanding of the number system and processes. Our children are able to apply their knowledge and skills fluently and accurately through problem solving and real-life situations, thus giving them a strong Mathematical foundation on which to build.
Implementation:
- Daily Mathematics sessions
- Mathematics homework linked to the objective taught over the week
- Consistent use of learning environments to encourage the children to be independent – working walls
- Maths zones inside and outside (EYFS and the nest in KS1)
- Fluency, next steps and Mastery challenge steps within lesson (KS1)
- Quality Marking symbols to support in teacher and self-assessment
- Concrete to abstract challenges throughout lessons (KS1)
- High priority CPD support through engagement with Maths hub for staff in both EYFS and KS1
- Real life’ strategies and routines embedded throughout the day eg, dinner counting, days of the week
- Progression of resources and strategies from EYFS to KS1 eg, part-whole, concrete
- Weekly Maths focus input in Nursery
- Mathematical activities throughout all child initiated learning areas in EYFS and the Nest in KS1
- Number rhymes, songs and routines throughout EYFS
- Application of NCTEM Mastery Maths planning and approach across the school
