Numeracy Years 1 - 6

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.
