  1. Maths Passport

  2. Why? • The John Wheeldon Maths Passport is designed to equip children with essential facts needed to progress well in mathematics. • Its focus matches the first aim of the 2014 curriculum for maths - ensuring mathematical fluency. • The emphasis of the passports is instant recall of facts; they are known 'by heart', with no need for working out the answers. This allows children to calculate more efficiently and accurately as they progress in mathematics.

  3. Each child will be given a passport with a series of targets. • These targets get progressively more challenging through the school. • The passports track progression in basic number skills.  • Children's passports reflect their mathematics knowledge and, as all children learn at different rates, they may be working in a different passport to their peers.

  4. All children will start at their attainment level and progress through the passports at their own pace.  • The aim is to complete the passports by the end of Year 6.  • At first, it may seem that the work they are doing is too easy but we want to check that all the children are secure at each objective.

  5. Children will be expected to answer a number of questions in a given time limit, depending on the number of questions. • The time limit is based upon an expectation of each answer being given within six seconds.   • To achieve mastery level a child is expected to answer within 4 seconds.

  6. Stages • EYFS – London • Stage 1 – France • Stage 2 – Italy • Stage 3 – India • Stage 4 – Japan • Stage 5 – California • Stage 6 – Australia • Stage 7 – Solar System

  7. Passport process: • The passport targets are incorporated into the mental arithmetic/fundamental part of the maths lesson at least twice a week • Three ticks next to the target indicates that the target has been achieved • Children continue to practice and be assessed on the remaining targets until all of the targets for that stage have been achieved.

  8. They then move on to the next Passport and a new set of targets. • We encourage parent/carer support and Maths passport help for parents/carers information sheets will be sent home with every new Passport.
