Mathematics at St Thomas'
Please take a look at Mathematics at St Thomas'
At St Thomas', our aims are to ensure that every child:
- Develops fluency and can make connections between mathematical ideas
- Can reason using a range of mathematical language
- Has a love of maths and will challenge themselves
- Is a resilient mathematician
We teach the National Curriculum programmes of study through a mastery approach using White Rose across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
In Early Years we work towards the Early Learning Goals through a maths mastery approach in preparation for Year 1. Learning is play based in the continuous provision and sustained shared thinking indoors and outdoors. Teachers deliver a skill to the whole class which is developed by all practitioners throughout the continuous provision.
From Year 1 our maths curriculum follows the National Curriculum closely, following the progression in the White Rose scheme.
The sequencing of our curriculum provides opportunities for children to develop conceptual understanding of new concepts and apply strategies previously taught to new ideas. Connections are made explicit to reinforce children’s understanding.
We are working closely with the Maths Hub and are currently teaching Mastering Number (alongside White Rose Maths) in Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and have started Year 3 in September 2024.
