Maths Intent Vision

Our children will be enthusiastic and confident when talking about and using number. They will have a firm grasp of the fundamental principles of mathematics and be able to use these and apply them in varied, real-life scenarios. We want to nurture curious children who see maths as an exciting, creative subject which can open the door to a world of opportunities.

Maths Curriculum at Crabtree Farm

At Crabtree Farm we support our teaching of the National Curriculum for Mathematics, through the use of the White Rose Maths scheme. The pace and progression is followed within the scheme, alongside some of the supporting resources; however this is adapted to the needs and development of the children across school. Have a look at the two progression documents, which detail what the children learn in each year group and how they develop their skills and knowledge during their time in primary school. Have a look to see what your child is learning in maths!

How we Learn in Maths

Place Value:

Children are taught the value of numbers in every year group. We use place value charts alongside base 10 to support children's understanding. Place value is a core, fundamental skill in maths as without a clear understanding of place value, children will encounter difficulties when calculating using the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

Addition

Subtraction

Children are taught to add numbers throughout school. We start by exploring this practically in EYFS and KS1 before teaching the column method for addition.

For further information on how to support your child/ren in KS2 with this, please visit: What is column addition? - BBC Bitesize

Children are taught to subtract numbers throughout school. We start by exploring this practically in early years and KS1 before teaching the column method for subtraction in KS2.

Multiplication

Children are taught to multiply numbers formally from spring term of year 2. They start by multiplying single digits, before moving onto two-digit numbers and above. We start by exploring this practically before teaching the column method for multiplication.

Division

Children are taught to divide numbers formally from spring term of year 2. They start by dividing single digits by grouping and sharing, before moving onto two-digit numbers and above. We start by exploring this practically before teaching the 'bus-stop method'

Our Learning in Maths

One way we help our children to learn maths is through the use of practical resources. Here are some of our Year 4 children working on place value and addition and subtraction, with base 10 and place value counters.
