The AET Vision for Mathematics

It is our duty to inspire young people see the true beauty of mathematics in the wider world by bringing it alive and thereby making it exciting, relevant and easy.

Our Maths Intent

At Lea Forest Primary Academy we aim for the children to make rich connections across mathematical ideas. Teacher's support this by providing challenge through probing questions, further extension and problem solving tasks after the children have demonstrated that they are fluent and can answer questions independently.

The five part mastery flow model forms the structure of all maths lessons:

The content of the lessons are driven by the AET Maths Curriculum. The AET maths curriculum builds on previous knowledge and skills acquired in the previous year and provides the children with opportunities to practise and further develop these skills and deepen their understanding.

Maths lessons provide the opportunity for children to use practical resources to represent a concept or practise a newly taught skill. Classroom environments support this with the inclusion of a maths station which allows children to independent select their own resources to support them. Maths displays reflect the current learning and support the children in becoming independent learning and driving their own learning.
