KS1 & KS2 Maths

Our curriculum provides adaptable, coherently sequenced units to allow pupils to develop a deep, sustained understanding of mathematics at Key Stages 1 and 2. Evidence informed approaches including variation and the development of core sets of models and representations build pupil knowledge and conceptual understanding. Lessons are designed to be flexible, accessible and to acknowledge the diversity in our schools. Central to the design of our curriculum is coherence in the development of key threads in mathematics. These threads reflect the structure of the National Curriculum, allowing teachers to track the development of key knowledge and skills. Reasoning and problem solving are integral. The curriculum promotes the use of vocabulary allowing pupils to articulate their thinking and strengthen both their procedural knowledge and conceptual understanding. Use of talk allows pupils to explore mathematical connections and use key vocabulary accurately when presenting their reasoning.
