Maths

Our long-term aim is to produce an ambitious, engaging, connected curriculum accessible to all pupils in the Futura Learning Partnership. Pupils will make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. The intent of our mathematics curriculum is to design a curriculum, which is accessible to all and will maximise the development of every child’s ability and academic achievement and preparation for their journey into the wider world. We aim to deliver lessons that are creative and engaging. We intend for our pupils to be able to apply their mathematical knowledge across the curriculum. Pupils who grasp concepts rapidly should be provided with deepening tasks offering rich and sophisticated problems before any acceleration through new content.

We follow the Futura Maths Curriculum, where the sequences of learning are based on White Rose.

Home learning

In Reception and Year 1, we use NumBots to aid understanding, recall and fluency of mental addition and subtraction. From Year 2, we use TTRockstars, a whole-school times table challenge, to encourage children to learn their multiplication facts by heart.

Children complete fun and exciting games/activities according to their ability. Once they have improved their time taken to answer the questions, their Rock Star Avatar changes. Will you become a Rock Legend?

Termly homework grids also contain Maths challenges to complete with your child based on their term’s learning.
