Vision 

At St Martin’s C of E Primary School, we believe that maths learning is crucial to all children’s development. We aim to inspire our pupils to have a passion for maths, so that every child thinks of themselves as a true mathematician, which will open up possibilities for them in the future.  

 

We will achieve this through the following: 

 

  • Fostering a ‘can do’ attitude in our children within a safe environment, through developing a growth mindset, where learning is paramount and mistakes are celebrated and used as stepping stones to deepen understanding. 

  • Encouraging mathematical talk, where questions are asked to develop mathematical thinking, clarify understanding and identify misconceptions. 

  • Broadening children’s knowledge and understanding of how mathematics is used in the wider world by making rich and varied real life connections. 

  • Enabling our pupils to confidently reason about their mathematics, using a suitable range of mathematical language, recognising its importance for communication and deep thinking. 

 

Through our maths vision, we are fully committed to developing a balance between the children’s procedural fluency , a conceptual understanding and an ability to reason and solve problems. 

 

Rationale

At St Martin's C of E Primary, we use the Oak National Academy framework to adopt a mastery approach to teaching. We use a Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract (CPA) approach to ensure that a deep understanding is embedded and all children feel that they can access maths in a way that suits their learning style. 

 

Through this approach, we aim to build a deeper understanding of topics, helping children become confident mathematicians who embrace mathematical challenges with a smile. 

Calculations

We are often asked for advice on how to teach different calculations. Much has changed in the past 10-20 years, especially the methods used. We now ensure there is a strong grasp of key concepts using concrete and pictorial representations to help the children understand what is actually happening in the calculation. The calculation documents below will show you the methods we use and give a breakdown of how each one works.

  • Multiplication and Division Calculation Policy

Overviews of the topics we teach in each year group and the progression across the school can be found below.

Additional Information

In addition to our maths lessons, we use Numbots (KS1 onwards) and Times Tables Rockstars (from KS2). Children are encouraged to access and practise at home and can compete in regular in house competitions. 

 

One Minute Maths is also a useful app that children can access to practise subitising, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at home.
