At Frodsham Manor House, we recognise that Mathematics is both a key skill within school, and a life skill to be utilised through everyday experiences. It helps children to make sense of the world around them through developing their ability to calculate, to reason and to solve problems. Through their growing knowledge and understanding, children learn to appreciate the contribution made by many cultures to the development and application of mathematics. We believe that by fostering resilience and a love of challenge and enquiry, children will develop an enthusiasm and love of maths that they will carry forward with them.
We aim to:
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
At Frodsham Manor House we have the expectation that the majority of pupils will move through the programmes of study at broadly the same pace. However, timely intervention and continuous assessment of children’s grasp of concepts and readiness to move on, will determine the decisions about when to progress to the next stage. Pupils who grasp concepts rapidly will be challenged through being offered opportunities to deepen their understanding and knowledge before any acceleration through new content. Those who are not sufficiently fluent with earlier material will consolidate their understanding, including additional practice, before moving on. Our aim is for same day intervention, in order to address misconceptions quickly and appropriately.
A maths scheme was introduced for Years 1 and 2 in 2017/18 called 'Powermaths'. This was then introduced in Key Stage Two in Sept 2018 and is now our whole school approach. We also use 'Teach Active' and in the summer of 2018 started using 'Doodle Maths' for online homework.
