Landywood Primary School

Maths

Subject Lead - Miss Salt

Here at Landywood we strive to help our pupils grow into problem solvers who rise to any challenge they are faced with. We promote a love of Maths through hands on experiences where Maths is given a real life context. All children are immersed into a broad and balanced Maths curriculum where they are able to master each aspect through small steps. As well as Maths being taught explicitly through direct lessons, it is also underpinned through a broad range of foundation subjects. We provide children with opportunities to demonstrate their skills in Foundation subjects such as Science, Design and Technology, Computing and Geography to give their learning meaning and provide a context.

Obstacles that children may face within Maths are overcome through our adaptive teaching, problem-solving opportunities, and the solution-building skills they develop as young mathematicians. Right from Early Years we provide our pupils with a strong basis for reasoning, estimation and logical thinking which they carry with them into later life. 

At Landywood, we instil a love of challenge in our children through high-quality interactions and meaningful conversations, using and modelling mathematical vocabulary not only in Maths lessons but throughout the day, this starts in our Eary Years and continues to develop through KS1 and KS2.  As well as this, we have rolled out the Early Years model of the use of concrete apparatus throughout KS1 and KS2 where alongside adaptive teaching we have hands on resources available where ,and if needed, for all children to access and build upon to create pictorial and eventually abstract based learning.
