Numeracy is a fundamental skill and teaches children how to make sense of the world around them through developing their ability to calculate, reason and solve problems.
Mathematics is taught through a daily lesson which follows the principles of the primary Numeracy framework. Considerable importance is attached to the children achieving and understanding mathematical processes, concepts and skills. Our aims are to promote enjoyment of learning through practical activity, exploration and discussion. We want our children to be confident with numbers and have the skills to solve problems. There is a strong emphasis on the development of mental maths with regular weekly assessments.
The daily numeracy lesson provides structured teaching of maths concepts using mental and oral recall, as well as group and whole class teaching using a range of teaching strategies and materials. Teachers also plan for opportunities to develop and apply key mathematical skills in other subjects throughout the year.
