Maths
At Woodford Primary School, we have designed an ambitious mathematics curriculum using the NCETM Curriculum Prioritisation Materials. Our intent is to make maths accessible to all and will maximise the development of every child’s ability and academic achievement.
Here, we know that children's chances of success are maximised if they develop a deep and lasting understanding of mathematical procedures and concepts. We teach through a Mastery approach to give all pupils the very best chances of mastering mathematics. Mathematics Teaching for Mastery is based on the 'Five Big Ideas' which are woven through each mathematics lesson. For more information about the 'Five Big Ideas' please click here.
We intend to provide for SEND and disadvantaged children so they can achieve the best possible outcomes so they can be active and influential participants in lessons and later on in life. We want children to make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems, whilst recognising that mathematics is a descriptive quest to describe the world around them.
Children in EYFS, are taught through the Mastering Number programme set out by the NCETM. The programme does not cover shape, space and measure so this is taught through planned directed sessions and continuous provision. The continuous provision is available for the children to access daily and includes a wide range of mathematical resources for children to explore and play with.
