Our Mathematics Curriculum at Hilperton

We believe that mathematics is an adventure for children that allows them to explore, question, apply, solve and most importantly enjoy a wide range of mathematical problems. We broadly follow the White Rose Mathematics scheme for our main maths lessons. Lessons are supplemented with 'fluent-in-five' and 'flash-back-fours' to allow daily revisiting opportunities. Mastering number is taught in KS1, ensuring children revisit key concepts and have a solid foundation with numbers. In KS2, the children practice times tables daily through chanting, as well as following times table booklets, introducing new facts as well as those previously taught.

We teach mathematics using a mastery approach designed to spark curiosity and excitement and nurture confidence in maths. Our lessons are carefully sequenced to support children's understanding of core concepts and build their mathematical confidence. Each lesson allows the children to revisit prior learning through a mathematical starter. The children are then taken on a journey through discovery, sharing of ideas, scaffolded practice, independent practice and reflection. This embeds growth mindset and problem solving to equip children with a deep conceptual understanding and a passion for mathematics.
