Maths
At Seamer, we use the Collins Primary Busy Ant Mathematics scheme to enable us to cover the Mathematics National Curriculum Programmes of Study with carefully sequenced lessons, providing cohesion across year groups backed by a rigorous long-term overview.
We use a mastery approach to learning and aim to encourage the deepest of learning for our pupils so that their knowledge can be transferred and applied in many contexts across different subjects as well as in their everyday lives. This approach enables all pupils to master the mathematics curriculum and draws inspiration from a range of high quality sources including White Rose Maths, Nrich and NCETM. Concepts are taught through manageable small steps which build on skills pupils have learnt.
Key aspects of our mastery approach include:
• ‘Concrete – Pictorial – Abstract’ representations
• Bar Models
• Factual fluency (including Times Tables Rockstars)
• Mathematical vocabulary
• Concept variation
• Non-examples
• Highlighting misconceptions
Maths is widely promoted across the school and our classrooms have working walls that the pupils can utilise to support their learning and provide extra challenge. All pupils have access to our maths curriculum whatever their ability or needs and we have high expectations for all pupils. Mathematical vocabulary is an essential part of each lesson and the pupils need to understand this within the area they are studying. Maths is integrated into our Forest School offer, using practical maths opportunities linked to each year group’s learning journey.
Our aim is to ensure that the three core areas of the National Curriculum are covered in our lessons: fluency, reasoning and problem solving. We offer the pupils the opportunity to have varied and frequent practice of their maths skills with the focus on their ability to recall and apply their knowledge rapidly and accurately. Reasoning is a key aspect of our lessons as pupils need to be able to ‘Describe, explain, convince, justify and prove…’ in order to be successful in this subject.
