Maths Curriculum
At James Peacock Infant and Nursery School Maths is taught following a combination of the White Rose Scheme of learning and the NCETM Mastering Number program. In addition, we refer to the NCTEM prioritisation guidance for KS1 to ensure all core concepts are consolidated.
It is our intent that our Maths curriculum will support the prominent place of Mathematics in everyday life whilst ensuring we have curriculum coverage to meet the national requirements. A high-quality education in Maths will teach our pupils to be fluent mathematicians and to solve real world problems.
We will ensure children:
• develop a deep sense of number; building on knowledge and understanding from EYFS and throughout KS1.
• become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop their understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
• reason mathematically using stem sentences from both White Rose and NCETM’s Mastering Number schemes to make connections, generalisations and the ability to justify using mathematical language.
• solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing difficulty, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
