White Rose Maths

At St. Mary’s we aim for all children to be mathematically confident, having a positive attitude to mathematics which will stay with them into adulthood as an essential life skill. We intend to do this by:  Implementing a scheme of mathematics (White Rose Maths) across school which ensures consistency and builds year on learning over time.  Providing a high quality maths curriculum which is both challenging and enjoyable.  Making provision for varied mathematical opportunities, which enables pupils to make the connections in learning needed to enjoy greater depth in learning.  Ensuring children have confidence in their mathematical ability to take risks. 

The children will be able to:  Recognise relationships and patterns, and make connections in mathematics.  Use quick recall of facts and procedures.  Have the flexibility to move between different contexts and representations of mathematics.  Show a mathematical concept in multiple ways, using mathematical language to explain their ideas and can independently apply the concept to new problems, therefore showing that a mathematical skill or concept has been mastered. This will be assessed through assessment, tracking, pupil progress meetings, performance management moderation and standardisation.
