Maths
At Bishop Wilson we strive for our children to be competent in the three core areas of maths:
* Fluency
* Problem Solving
* Reasoning
Lessons are centred upon the White Rose Maths scheme which has been developed by experts in the field of Mathematics. The scheme follows a Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract approach which allows children to become confident Mathematicians. The files below show the objectives covered in each year group. Teachers may adapt the order of the objectives covered throughout the year in order to personalise learning for their classes. However, all objectives will be covered during the academic year. The White Rose scheme ensures recap and revisit of concepts. Teachers have the freedom to use other materials in addition to White Rose which may benefit the children.
In Reception, children are taught using the Early Learning Goals Number and Shape, Space and Measure. Their achivements are tracked and recorded in a floor book. Wow moments are shared online with parents Learning Journeys and their Maths books.
Through Mathematics, we interweave our drivers in as many ways as possible. For example:
Communicators children will use their communication skills to discuss Problems with reasoning and communicate their workings and responses effectively.
Explorers children will explore the relevance and real life links that mathematics has to their daily lives. They will gain confidence in exploring a pathway through a problem.
Readers we encourage children to read new vocabulary relating to mathematics. They will understand the meaning of key terminology and this will aid progress.
Believers children will be confident mathematicians who have the belief and resilience to grapple and persevere to complete Mathematical Problems.
