    Maths Curriculum Statement

    What Maths looks like in Goodrich CE Primary School

    Our aim is to equip all pupils with the skills and confidence to solve a range of problems through fluency with numbers and mathematical reasoning. Our ultimate aim is to ensure that children are given a visual/concrete representation of the maths being taught and set in a real-life context to make it meaningful to the children.

    Throughout the school all classes are mixed age.  We use a flexible mastery approach which is taught with the lesson objective chosen from each year group which closely match and are a continuation of each other being developed throughout the lesson or series of lessons.  Where lesson objectives for differing year groups cannot be closely match, objectives are taught to the whole class ensuring that support and/or depth of learning opportunities are provided. When necessary and appropriate, children are taught in smaller groups for precision teaching.

    CURRICULUM INTENT

    Curriculum Intent

    What Maths looks like in our school.

    ❖ A curriculum which caters for the needs of all individuals

    ❖ A flexible approach is adopted to the grouping of children based on their needs relating to the particular objective(s) being taught. Where appropriate children are given the opportunity to choose the level of their challenge based on their need and thus providing opportunities for them to develop as independent learners.

    ❖ Daily basic skills practise (Mastering number/Minute Maths/ 9 Quick Questions / Times Tables) to ensure fluency and develop long term recall

    ❖ We use a concrete, pictorial, abstract approach (see Calculation Policy)

    ❖ Regular Reasoning & Problem-solving opportunities are provided

    ❖ Questioning is a key part of the maths lesson – letting the children demonstrate what they know and challenging them every step

    ❖ Pupils are required to explore maths in depth, using mathematical vocabulary to reason and explain their workings

    ❖ A well planned lessons using ready-to-progress criterion for each year group which links to pupils’ prior knowledge and future applications.

    ❖ Structured interventions to help close the gaps for targeted children.

     

    This is our philosophy:

    ❖ To become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics so that children develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.

    ❖ To be able to solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including in unfamiliar contexts and to model real-life scenarios

    ❖ To reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry and develop and present a justification, argument or proof using mathematical language.

    ❖ To have an appreciation of number and number operations, which enables mental calculations and written procedures to be performed efficiently, fluently and accurately to be successful in mathematics.

     

    This is the knowledge and understanding gained at each stage:

    By the end of EYFS pupils will:

    ❖ Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of each number

    ❖ Subitise (recognise quantities without counting) up to 5

    ❖ Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids) number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to 10, including double facts

    ❖ Verbally count beyond 20, recognising the pattern of the counting system

    ❖ Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity

    ❖ Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts

    ❖ Develop their spatial reasoning skills across all areas of mathematics including shape, space and measures

    ❖ Have an ability to look for patterns and relationships, spot connections, ‘have a go’, talk to adults and peers about what they notice and not be afraid to make mistakes.

     

    By the end of Key Stage 1 pupils will:

    ❖ Develop confidence and mental fluency with whole numbers, counting and place value.

     ❖ Use numerals, words and the four operations, including with practical resources.

    ❖ Recognise, describe, draw, compare and sort different shapes and use the related vocabulary.

    ❖ a range of measures to describe and compare different quantities such as length, mass, capacity/volume, time and money.

    ❖ know the number bonds to 20 and be precise in using and understanding place value. An emphasis on practice at this early stage will aid fluency.

    ❖ Read and spell mathematical vocabulary, at a level consistent with their increasing word reading and spelling knowledge at key stage 1

     

    By the end of Lower Key Stage 2 pupils will:

    ❖ Be increasingly fluent with whole numbers and the four operations, including number facts and the concept of place value.

    ❖ Develop efficient written and mental methods and perform calculations accurately with increasingly large whole numbers.

    ❖ Develop their ability to solve a range of problems, including with simple fractions and decimal place value.

    ❖ Draw with increasing accuracy and develop mathematical reasoning so they can analyse shapes and their properties and confidently describe the relationships between them.

    ❖ Use measuring instruments with accuracy and make connections between measure and number.

    ❖ By the end of year 4, memorised their multiplication tables up to and including the 12 multiplication table.

    ❖ Read and spell mathematical vocabulary correctly and confidently, using their growing word reading knowledge and their knowledge of spelling.

     

    By the end of Key Stage 2 pupils will:

    ❖ Understand the number system and place value to include larger integers.

    ❖ Make connections between multiplication and division with fractions, decimals, percentages and ratio.

    ❖ Develop their ability to solve a wider range of problems, including increasingly complex properties of numbers and arithmetic, and problems demanding efficient written and mental methods of calculation.

    ❖ Use the language of algebra as a means for solving a variety of problems.

    ❖ Classify shapes with increasingly complex geometric properties and use the vocabulary they need to describe them.

    ❖ Be fluent in written methods for all four operations, including long multiplication and division, and in working with fractions, decimals and percentages.

    ❖ Read, spell and pronounce mathematical vocabulary correctly

     

    CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION

    Curriculum Implementation

    Please refer to:

    • Our Long Term Overview to demonstrate the progression of knowledge and skills within the whole school
    • Our Calculation Policy

    This is how it works:

    1. Children in EYFS have a daily mathematical focus based on acquiring knowledge of basic mathematical facts and concepts within the EYFS Curriculum using the Mastering Number Programme. Mathematical concepts are also woven throughout their continuous provision.
    2. Teachers use a Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract (CPA) approach to support learning.
    3. Teachers take time to think carefully about the small step nature of learning within their lessons and select questions which moe children on to the next step.
    4. Lessons incorporate a ‘ping/pong’ approach i.e. the use of mid-point reflections to explore misconceptions/difficult points and allow ‘in the moment feedback’ which maximises progress.
    5. Daily basic skills practise (Mastering Number/Minute Maths/ 9 Quick Questions / Times Tables) to ensure fluency and develop long term recall
    6. There are frequent opportunities for children to explain their thinking promote reasoning, explanation and depth of thought.
    7. We use mistakes and misconceptions as an essential part of learning.
    8. Teachers use their professional judgement, and AfL strategies, to ensure that children have a depth of understanding before moving on, whilst ensuring that all key areas are covered across the year.
    9. Children falling behind are given rapid, same day/next day intervention time to quickly reinforce the learning and give quick opportunities to reinforce understanding.
    10. Support is determined during each lesson to ensure secure understanding based on the needs of the child
    11. Pre-teaching and/or immediate interventions to prepare children for learning the next day.
    12. 123Maths used for daily intervention for the lowest achieving pupils in all year groups from Year 2 and across KS2

     

    This is what the adults do:

    1. Plan progressive lessons which build on prior knowledge.
    2. Support, encourage and nurture a love of Maths.
    3. Create a learning environment that supports learning and engages children’s interest.
    4. Use Bloom’s Questioning in class to assess conceptual knowledge and skills and allow pupils to develop strategies for questioning and thinking.
    5. Regular book scrutiny, learning walks, pupil meetings and planning audits.
    6. Use data to identify strengths and weaknesses and develop/implement plans to address areas of concern.
    7. Identify those children who need extra support in order to provide them with urgent, catch-up sessions
    8. Whole school professional development.
    9. Network with other schools and Maths coordinators, e.g. though the WVLN.

    This how we support:

    1. We use teacher and self-assessment to quickly identify any child who requires additional support in specific areas
    2. Differentiated ability tasks enabling children to progress at their own pace.  
    3. We make cross curricular links whenever possible. 
    4. Provide visual and practical prompts
    5. Provide additional targeted support where necessary

    This is how we support staff:

    1. Identification of CPD needed
    2. Curriculum Groups – share expertise throughout the school
    3. Use of staff meetings
    4. Small sessions and immediate support as and when required
    5. Work in conjunction with other local school through Maths network meeting and South Herefordshire Maths Hub

    This how we challenge:

    1. Lessons will be differentiated or adapted though challenge or support.
    2. Though challenging questions e.g. Prove it!  Convince me!  Why? How do you know?
    3. Additional activities/targets to stretch the learning within the lesson. 
    4. Activities with alternative/extended discussion points. 
    5. Teachers will adapt their questioning to support or challenge

     

    This how we ensure all children can access the curriculum:

    1. Children with SEND are taught within the daily mathematics lesson and are encouraged to take part when and where possible
    2. Teaching lessons using the CPA approach.
    3. Targeted intervention for those that need extra support with their basic maths skills
    4. More frequent repetition and revisiting to help make it stick

     

    Cultural Capital/Enrichment

     

    The mathematics curriculum allows our pupils to develop lifelong skills that are essential for succeeding in all aspects of school life and beyond. 

    Cultural Capital is the essential knowledge that children need to prepare them for their future success – in the world of work, in relationships forged throughout life and as a valued contributor to society.

    Therefore, our aim is to give children the knowledge and skills to prepare them for what comes next in their lives. This includes the relevant vocabulary needed throughout their education and the opportunity to link maths to real-world problem solving.

     

    Cultural Capital is the accumulation of knowledge, behaviours, and skills that a child gains over time through different experiences and opportunities. They draw upon these to demonstrate their cultural awareness, knowledge and competence. It is one of the key ingredients a child will draw upon to be successful in society, their career and the world of work.

    Cultural Capital gives a child power. It helps them achieve goals, become successful, and rise up the social ladder without necessarily having wealth or financial capital.

     

    We recognise that for a child to aspire and be successful academically and in the wider areas of their lives, they need to be given rich and sustained opportunities to develop. Within Maths, we engage in; Careers Information, Growth mindset, Resilience development strategies and Pupil Voice to empower pupils.

    CURRICULUM IMPACT

    Curriculum Impact

    This is what you might typically see:

    1. Happy, confident and engaged learners
    2. Children practising and applying knowledge to different situations.
    3. Confident children talking positively about maths, sharing and reflecting on their learning and being able to justify their mathematical ideas
    4. Specific gaps in learning addressed through daily interventions
    5. A classroom environment with displays including vocabulary, to support learning.
    6. TIPTOP learning

    This is how we know how well our children are doing:

    We have identified substantive and disciplinary knowledge which is fundamental to the children’s development and understanding as mathematiciansThey accumulate this as they move through our school which then gives them a firm foundation to build on when they move on to KS3 and beyond.

    1. AFL at the beginning and throughout eery lesson.
    2. Marking and feedback which also includes peer assessment
    3. Lesson planned based on work done in previous year groups to ensure children are progressing
    4. Formative assessment though questioning throughout the lesson
    5. Photographic/ideo evidence
    6. Observations of children during investigation and exploration
    7. Next step marking and feedback by teacher and peers.
    8. Book scrutiny, pupil meetings and planning audits.
    9. Regularly monitoring of the standards of children’s work and the quality of teaching and learning in lessons
    10. Assessment tracked at the end of each term and entered onto our summative assessment tracking system.

    This is the impact of the teaching:

    1. Children who are confident talking about maths.
    2. Children who enjoy their learning in maths.
    3. Inquisitive learners who make observations and ask questions.
    4. Depth of understanding/application in different contexts
    5. Pupils use acquired vocabulary in maths lessons. 
    6. Reflective learners.
    7. Children will be ready for the next stage in their education. Pupils with SEND will achieve the best possible outcomes. 
    8. Children ready for their next step in learning.
    9. Pupils are able to apply their mathematical knowledge.

    Abstract

    Combining two parts to make a whole: part- whole model

    Use cubes to add two numbers together as a group or in a bar.

      

    Use pictures to add two numbers together as a group or in a bar.

    4 + 3 = 7

    10= 6 + 4

     

     

    Use the part-part whole diagram as shown above to move into the abstract.

    Starting at the bigger number and counting on

    Start with the larger number on the bead string and then count on to the smaller number 1 by 1 to find the answer.

    12 + 5 = 17

    Start at the larger number on the number line and count on in ones or in one jump to find the answer.

    5 + 12 = 17

    Place the larger number in your head and count on the smaller number to find your answer.

     

     

     

    Regrouping to make 10.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    6 + 5 = 11

    Start with the bigger number and use the smaller number to make 10.

    Use pictures or a number line. Regroup or partition the smaller number to make 10.

    7 + 4= 11

     

    If I am at seven, how many more do I need to make 10. How many more do I add on now?

    Adding three single digits

    4 + 7 + 6= 17

    Put 4 and 6 together to make 10. Add on 7.

     

    Following on from making 10, make 10 with 2 of the digits (if possible) then add on the third digit.

    Add together three groups of objects. Draw a picture to recombine the groups to make 10.

    Combine the two numbers that make 10 and then add on the remainder.

    Column method- no regrouping

     

    24 + 15=

    Add together the ones first then add the tens. Use the Base 10 blocks first before moving onto place value counters.

    After practically using the base 10 blocks and place value counters, children can draw the counters to help them to solve additions.

     
       

     

           

    Column method-  regrouping

     

    Make both numbers on a place value grid.

    Add up the units and exchange 10 ones for one 10.

    Add up the rest of the columns, exchanging the 10 counters from one column for the next place value column until every column has been added.

    This can also be done with Base 10 to help children clearly see that 10 ones equal 1 ten and 10 tens equal 100.

    As children move on to decimals, money and decimal place value counters can be used to support learning.

     

    Children can draw a pictoral representation of the columns and place value counters to further support their learning and understanding.

    Start by partitioning the numbers before moving on to clearly show the exchange below the addition.

    As the children move on, introduce decimals with the same number of decimal places and different. Money can be used here.

    Taking away ones

    Use physical objects, counters, cubes etc to show how objects can be taken away.

    Cross out drawn objects to show what has been taken away.

    18 -3= 15

    8 – 2 = 6

    Counting back

    Make the larger number in your subtraction. Move the beads along your bead string as you count backwards in ones.

    13 – 4

    Use counters and move them away from the group as you take them away counting backwards as you go.

    Count back on a number line or number track

    Start at the bigger number and count back the smaller number showing the jumps on the number line.

    This can progress all the way to counting back using two 2 digit numbers.

    Put 13 in your head, count back 4. What number are you at? Use your fingers to help.

    Find the difference

    Compare amounts and objects to find the difference.

    Use cubes to build towers or make bars to find the difference

    Use basic bar models with items to find the difference.

    Count on to find the difference.

    Draw bars to find the difference between 2 numbers.

    Hannah has 23 sandwiches, Helen has 15 sandwiches. Find the difference between the number of sandwiches.

    Part Part Whole Model

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Link to addition- use the part whole model to help explain the inverse between addition and subtraction.

    If 10 is the whole and 6 is one of the parts. What is the other part?

    10 - 6 =

    Use a pictorial representation of objects to show the part part whole model.

    Move to using numbers within the part whole model.

    Make 10

     

    14 – 9 =

    Make 14 on the ten frame. Take away the four first to make 10 and then takeaway one more so you have taken away 5. You are left with the answer of 9.

    Start at 13. Take away 3 to reach 10. Then take away the remaining 4 so you have taken away 7 altogether. You have reached  your answer.

    16 – 8=

    How many do we take off to reach the next 10?

    How many do we have left to take off?

    Column method without regrouping

    Use Base 10 to make the bigger number then take the smaller number away.

    Show how you partition numbers to subtract. Again make the larger number first.

    Draw the Base 10 or place value counters alongside the written calculation to help to show working.

    Column method with regrouping

    Use Base 10 to start with before moving on to place value counters. Start with one exchange before moving onto subtractions with 2 exchanges.

     

    Make the larger number with the place value counters

    Start with the ones, can I take away 8 from 4 easily? I need to exchange one of my tens for ten ones.

    Now I can subtract my ones.

    Now look at the tens, can I take away 8 tens easily? I need to exchange one hundred for ten tens.

    Now I can take away eight tens and complete my subtraction

    Show children how the concrete method links to the written method alongside your working. Cross out the numbers when exchanging and show where we write our new amount.

     

    Draw the counters onto a place value grid and show what you have taken away by crossing the counters out as well as clearly showing the exchanges you make.

    When confident, children can find their own way to record the exchange/regrouping.

    Just writing the numbers as shown here shows that the child understands the method and knows when to exchange/regroup.

    Moving forward the children use a more compact method.

     

    This will lead to an understanding of subtracting any number including decimals.

     

     

     

    Multiplication

    Objective and Strategies

    Concrete

    Pictorial

    Abstract

    Doubling

    Use practical activities to show how to double a number.

    Draw pictures to show how to double a number.

    Partition a number and then double each part before recombining it back together.

    Counting in multiples

    Count in multiples supported by concrete objects in equal groups.

     

    Use a number line or pictures to continue support in counting in multiples.

     

    Count in multiples of a number aloud.

    Write sequences with multiples of numbers.

    2, 4, 6, 8, 10

    5, 10, 15, 20, 25 , 30

     

     

    Repeated addition

     

     

    Use different objects to add equal groups.

     

     

    Write addition sentences to describe objects and pictures.

    Arrays- showing commutative multiplication

    http://www.australiancurriculumlessons.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/arrays-multiplication-division-lesson.jpg

    Create arrays using counters/ cubes to show multiplication sentences.

     

    Draw arrays in different rotations to find commutative multiplication sentences.

    http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.02.06/maro1.1.gif

    Link arrays to area of rectangles.

    Use an array to write multiplication sentences and reinforce repeated addition.

     

    Grid Method

     Show the link with arrays to first introduce the grid method.

    4 rows of 10

    4 rows of 3

    Move on to using Base 10 to move towards a more compact method.

    4 rows of 13

     

    Move on to place value counters to show how we are finding groups of a number.We are multiplying by 4 so we need 4 rows.

    Fill each row with 126.

    Add up each column, starting with the ones making any exchanges needed.

    Then you have your answer.

    Children can represent the work they have done with place value counters in a way that they understand.

    They can draw the counters, using colours to show different amounts or just use circles in the different columns to show their thinking as shown below.

     Start with multiplying by one digit numbers and showing the clear addition alongside the grid.

    Moving forward, multiply by a 2 digit number showing the different rows within the grid method.

     

    Column multiplication

    https://primarysite-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/0c4eb252d34643748228179a3d582154_1x1.jpeg

    Children can continue to be supported by place value counters at the stage of multiplication.

     

    It is important at this stage that they always multiply the ones first and note down their answer followed by the tens which they note below.

    Bar modelling and number lines can support learners when solving problems with multiplication alongside the formal written methods.

    Start with long multiplication, reminding the children about lining up their numbers clearly in columns.

    If it helps, children can write out what they are solving next to their answer.

     

    This moves to the more compact method.

    Division

    Objective and Strategies

    Concrete

    Pictorial

    Abstract

    Sharing objects into groups

    I have 10 cubes, can you share them equally in 2 groups?

    Children use pictures or shapes to share quantities.

    8 ÷ 2 = 4

    Share 9 buns between three people.

     

    9 ÷ 3 = 3

    Division as grouping

    Divide quantities into equal groups.

    Use cubes, counters, objects or place value counters to aid understanding.

     

     

     

    Use a number line to show jumps in groups. The number of jumps equals the number of groups.

     

    http://gcamath3.weebly.com/uploads/9/1/4/0/9140392/200455_orig.jpg

    Think of the bar as a whole. Split it into the number of groups you are dividing by and work out how many would be within each group.

     

    28 ÷ 7 = 4

     

    Divide 28 into 7 groups. How many are in each group?

     

     

     

    Division within arrays

    Link division to multiplication by creating an array and thinking about the number sentences that can be created.

     

    Eg 15 ÷ 3 = 5      5 x 3 = 15

         15 ÷ 5 = 3       3 x 5 = 15

    Draw an array and use lines to split the array into groups to make multiplication and division sentences.

    Find the inverse of multiplication and division sentences by creating four linking number sentences.

     

    7 x 4 = 28

    4 x 7 = 28

    28 ÷ 7 = 4

    28 ÷ 4 = 7

    Division with a remainder

    14 ÷ 3 =

    Divide objects between groups and see how much is left over

               
               

    Jump forward in equal jumps on a number line then see how many more you need to jump to find a remainder.

    Draw dots and group them to divide an amount and clearly show a remainder.

     

    Complete written divisions and show the remainder using r.

    Short division

    Use place value counters to divide using the bus stop method alongside

    42 ÷ 3=

    Start with the biggest place value, we are sharing 40 into three groups. We can put 1 ten in each group and we have 1 ten left over.

    We exchange this ten for ten ones and then share the ones equally among the groups.

    We look how much in 1 group so the answer is 14.

    Students can continue to use drawn diagrams with dots or circles to help them divide numbers into equal groups.

    Encourage them to move towards counting in multiples to divide more efficiently.

    Begin with divisions that divide equally with no remainder.

    Move onto divisions with a remainder.

    Finally move into decimal places to divide the total accurately.

     

    Maths Assessment

    Children are assessed within lessons on a daily basis. Frequent opportunities are built into lessons to assess children’s retention of previous objectives taught to ensure that the objectives are securely achieved (the daily number skills sessions are ideal opportunities for this assessment.)

    Progress through objectives are recorded on data sheets termly.  Analysis of this data is completed shortly after each data point and used to inform teaching and learning.

    Evidence for assessment could also include:

    • Children’s work
    • Marking codes and annotations
    • Teacher/TA observation notes
    • Photographs with annotations
    • Audio recordings
    • End of unit tasks

     

    Essential Building Blocks

    Knowledge of number facts and a fluency in using them is a vital part of Maths for each year group. Rapid recall of number facts can provide the basic knowledge required for most aspects of primary mathematics, including mental and written calculations, fractions, decimals and percentages and problem solving. Number facts learned in Maths can also be transferred to many other subjects across the curriculum and in ‘real life’ situations.
