Discover how Maths is taught at Churchdown Village Infant School to build confidence and lifelong skills in children from Reception to Year 2.
E N D
What Maths Means To Us. At Churchdown Village Infant School we teach Maths so that every child will have confidence and a secure understanding of mathematics. We believe that this enables a solid base which will develop into life long skills.
Reception – Year 2 There are two types of maths that we teach: Number Value of number, formation, four operations Shape, Space and measure 2 and 3d shapes, weight, length, capacity, money
Aims of the KS1 National Curriculum • To become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. • To reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language. • To be able to solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non- routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Principal Focus in KS1 • The principal focus of mathematics teaching in key stage 1 is to ensure that pupils develop confidence and mental fluency with whole numbers, counting and place value. This should involve working with numerals, words and the four operations, including with practical resources (for example, concrete objects and measuring tools). An emphasis on practice at this early stage will aid fluency. Department for Education, 2013
In Reception • We work on the skills needed to enable the children to have a good start to KS1 • Building a secure understanding of number will enable the children to work on shape space and measure • We are currently working on the value of the numbers up to 10
Recording in Reception • We use number rhymes to help the children to remember how to form each number. • The children start by tracing the numbers but we start to see them writing them in their independent activities too.
