We aim to equip children with a secure knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts, making them relevant to everyday life wherever possible. It is important for children to know how to use and apply their knowledge and skills so we provide plenty of opportunities for practical investigations, reasoning and problem solving exercises.
We teach the National Curriculum 2014 from Years 1 – 6, and use the White Rose Maths scheme to support strategies, progression and challenge. In the Early Years, we teach the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum 2014, providing a balance of adult and child-led learning, including opportunities to develop Maths understanding in real life contexts and play.
The link below explains what we intend children to learn in Maths at Canonbury and how it is linked to our Curriculum Promise:
Maths Intent CPS
Our Curriculum Promise
Children learn times tables, number bonds and using the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in order to build the foundations of mathematical thinking. They are taught to apply their mathematical skills and knowledge to solve challenging, multi-step problems in a range of contexts.
We have a Calculation Policy that shows how your child is learning to carry out the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We understand that some calculation methods we teach are different to the ones that parents were taught at school.
