Reception Curriculum

 

As part of our mastery curriculum, Reception follow the 'one number at a time' approach. Each of the 7 core areas of mathematics is developed through the teaching of each number. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Teaching for mastery 

 

Our Teaching for Mastery approach is underpinned by the NCETM (National Centre for for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics) 5 Teaching for Mastery principles. 

 

 

 

Fluency

 

 

Children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 will receive four 10 - 15 minute Mastering Number sessions per week in addition to their maths lesson.

 

Mastering Number in Key Stage 1 aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number.

Mastering Number in Key Stage 2 enables pupils in Years 4 and 5 to develop fluency in multiplication and division facts, and a confidence and flexibility with number that exemplifies good number sense.

 

                                               Year 4                                                       Year 5

                                                                         

 

Children in Years 3,4,5 & 6 have  fluency sessions at least 3 times a week which provide opportunity to embed previous learning and further develop their use of mathematical language, their automaticity with their basic recall of number facts; secure their procedural efficiency and how they calculate and their use of the most efficient strategies. 

 

 

Manipulatives & Representations

 

As part our Teaching for Mastery approach and to deepen understanding, the children are provided with opportunities to use manipulatives to explore, question and discuss their mathematics.
