Maths at Great Moor
At Great Moor Infant School, we value maths as an essential aspect of our broad and balanced school curriculum. We strive to ensure our children enjoy their learning of maths and become confident mathematicians. We aim to promote the understanding of mathematical concepts through a rich and broad range of learning experiences, using practical, pictorial and abstract methods.
Children are taught key skills and concepts and are then given the opportunity to apply these within real life contexts through problem solving and reasoning. We believe it should be fully inclusive for all our children, so seek to provide opportunities for challenge and deeper understanding. Maths is adapted to cater for all children, ensuring it is accessible, allowing all children to make good progress. We view maths as an interactive and collaborative subject with an emphasis on talk, through questioning and modelling of technical vocabulary.
At Great Moor Infant School we ensure that all children are given the opportunity to acquire a deepened understanding of the areas they are being taught. We use White Rose, Primary Stars and Master the Curriculum to engage our learners, sparking curiosity and interest, whilst simultaneously nurturing confidence in maths. Lessons are child-friendly and engaging, and model and embed a growth mindset approach to maths learning.
