At Bramingham, we want all our children to become competent and confident mathematicians. We aim for them to be fluent in the fundamentals of maths and we recognise the importance of regular practice through planned consolidation. We know that success in maths builds upon a secure arithmetic base. The children will be able to make links between different areas of maths and be able to apply what they have learnt to increasingly challenging problems. Key, subject-specific vocabulary will be taught and children will be able to use this when they explain their mathematical thinking. We use errors and misconceptions as an essential part of learning. Children will be encouraged to question and deepen their own understanding. We encourage resilience and determination and the understanding that learning new areas can be challenging. All children will experience success in maths through careful differentiation.
Implementation
Our mathematics curriculum is implemented through the White Rose Maths scheme of learning from Reception to Year 6. Lessons are sequenced in small, carefully planned steps to build secure understanding and make connections between mathematical concepts. The programme emphasises fluency, reasoning and problem-solving, while using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach to support pupils in developing deep conceptual understanding. Mathematical language, discussion and representation are embedded throughout lessons to help all pupils become confident and successful mathematicians. This reflects White Rose Maths' aim of providing a structured, coherent curriculum that develops pupils into mathematical thinkers. See below for your Long Term Overview and what each year group is learning.
