Maths

At St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School we aim to develop the children’s confidence and enthusiasm and their ability to apply mathematical skills and knowledge to the world around them. We want to enable pupils to see that Maths is a way of viewing and making sense of the world and to be able to think logically, use mathematical language with confidence and to enjoy investigating and problem solving.

Our teaching programme is based on identified learning objectives, it is planned thoroughly to ensure high expectations, consistent approaches and challenge throughout the school. Through our teaching pupils are encouraged to apply their mathematical knowledge to problem solving and investigation. Children learn through activity and the use of practical resources. As Mathematics is essential to everyday life, pupils should also apply their mathematical knowledge to all other subjects across the curriculum.

Throughout the school we encourage the children to take ownership of their learning. The children select their own level of challenge for each lesson by choosing an activity that is ‘mild’, ‘spicy’ or ‘hot’ with an extended challenge of ‘peri – peri’.

Overall, we aim to provide a high quality Mathematics education which provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

Early Years/Foundation Stage

Mathematics is delivered through creative cross curricular activities, in free choice and adult directed tasks.

The children are encouraged to develop self-confidence and enjoyment in activities using numbers as labels, counting and calculating by providing them with these opportunities in every area of the classroom.

They will focus on recognising and ordering numbers up to 20 through maths games.

The children will be introduced to problem-solving techniques (estimating and predicting) and using mathematical ideas in real life contexts (using money and time).

Children will be introduced to addition and subtraction, 2D and 3D shape and will be learning about concepts of weight and measures.
