Maths
INTENT
Our vision for maths at Osbaldwick is to develop confident, resilient learners who are not afraid to tackle more demanding problems. We teach an engaging and carefully sequenced maths curriculum that builds on prior learning. Our curriculum is cumulative and once a taught unit is ‘finished’ it is linked throughout future learning to enable children to make links and to make learning stick.
We have an ethos of ‘mastery for all’ following the NCETM guidance to ensure that all pupils are given the opportunity to apply their understanding throughout lessons. It’s our aim that our pupils leave school fluent in basic number facts, with an understanding of patterns and times tables and are able to make sense of the numerical world around them. Therefore, in addition to maths lessons, we timetable in daily sessions for the repetition of basic skills.
