A high-quality mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
At King’s Oak, children have a daily maths lesson which lasts one hour. As well as this, they have an additional 15 minutes developing mental strategies and skills such as times tables and key facts that they need to be successful mathematicians.
The National Curriculum Aims:
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
-
become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
-
reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
-
can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Maths at King's Oak
The following links to documents show the age related goals and how children progress in Maths at King’s Oak Primary.
Times Table Rockstars
It is really important that your child learns their times tables. This will help them in all maths in their future. Please support them at home with doing this. TT Rockstars is a great resourc and all of the children have a school account.
My Maths
My Maths is a maths online programme that we use to support our home learning. Each child in the school has an individual login and will be set homework to complete on this.
