We teach numeracy and mathematics through practical approaches, direct teaching, follow up written tasks and holistic assessments. The children will have undertaken baseline assessments at the start of every new academic year this allows us to best plan and ensure we are challenging the pupils from the start.

Big Maths lessons are fast, fun and furious. Children work on whiteboards and ‘flash’ answers to their teachers - the pace of the lesson is fast. We need to pass on the expectation to work at a quick pace and have maths facts instantly available, rather than slower methods, such as counting on fingers. The children are introduced to child-friendly terms such as ‘Switchers’ and ‘Learn Its’, rather than ‘commutative law’ and ‘number bonds’ to help them manipulate numbers and make them more confident and more successful.
CLIC SESSIONS
Big Maths is taught through daily ‘CLIC’. This stands for ‘Counting’, ‘Learn Its’, ‘It’s Nothing New’ and ‘Calculation’. Maths lessons contain each of these elements. These are described on the following pages.
