Pupils
follow the requirements of the National Numeracy Strategy for
their appropriate year group. The school uses the New Heinemann
Maths series which includes text books and games to cover all the
areas to be studied.
Number
Shape and Space
Data Handling
Measuring
Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
All year groups take part in practical activities as well as
completing workbook tasks. Mathematical language, reasoning and
skills are applied in all areas and pupils are encouraged to think
problems through for themselves either individually, in pairs or
small group activities.
Pupils in years 2 – 6 are split into 3 ability groups so that they
are more easily able to work at their own level with children who
are similarly able. In addition to these groups, as in all lessons
the activities are differentiated to closely match the needs of
the children. Pupils are able to move between these groups as
they progress through the school if evidence shows they should.
Special time and attention is given to children with special
needs, including children for whom English is not their first
language, and particularly able children.
