Marvellous Maths at JTR
At JTR we immerse our children in Maths from the first day of school. We ensure the children see Maths all around them both in the natural world and within the classroom.
Through the Mastery Approach, our children acquire a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of all areas of Maths. Using concrete, pictorial and abstract resources and then applying mathematical concepts in different ways, enables our children to see how mathematical concepts connect. At any one point in our children's journey through school, achieving mastery is taken to mean acquiring a solid enough understanding of the Maths that has been taught to enable the child to move on to more advanced tasks and learning.
INTENT
In Maths we aim for the children:
to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
to reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
to solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Key Stage 1 children are taught arithmetic every Monday to hone their fluency and recall skills. These are then practiced during a Maths 'morning job' twice a week, and throughout their Maths lessons. Maths Reasoning and Problem Solving type questions are planned into all maths lessons to encourage greater depth thinking. Reasoning and Problem Solving lessons are also included at the end of each block of learning to ensure the children are being exposed to and are gaining the necessary skills for the Mastery Approach.
