Maths
INTENT The intention of our maths curriculum is that children are taught to become competent and independent mathematicians. At Linthwaite Ardron, we use the Power Maths programme. Power Maths is an exciting whole-class mastery approach. It has been designed to support and challenge all pupils, building on the belief that every child can become a successful mathematician. The philosophy behind Power Maths is that being successful in maths is not just about rote learning procedures and methods, but is instead about problem solving, thinking and discussing. We want our children to build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts which will enable them to apply their learning in different situations. Through mathematical talk, children will develop the ability to articulate, discuss and explain their thinking. We will provide the children with the necessary resources to allow all children to access the curriculum and encourage them to use this where appropriate to explain their logic and reasoning. |

IMPACT As a result of our maths teaching you will see:
Summative assessment takes place at the end of each term and children’s progress and attainment is discussed with senior leaders during pupil progress meetings. Formative assessment takes place on a daily basis and teachers adjust planning accordingly to meet the needs of their class. Monitoring takes place regularly in the form of lesson observations, learning walks and book scrutinies. |
