At Spring Grove we believe all children can achieve in maths. It is important that our children and families develop a positive attitude towards mathematics and for them to see themselves as competent mathematicians.
We strive to ensure that our maths curriculum is carefully planned to help all pupils achieve, enjoy maths and reach their full potential.

How do we plan?
As well as The National Curriculum 2014, Development Matters and the Early Learning Goals (Number, Shape Space & Measure), Years 1-6 use the White Rose Maths schemes of learning. The objectives are broken down by year group and a strong emphasis is placed on:
We are working towards using a mastery approach to teaching and learning. This is what we mean by mastery:
-
-
-
- Devoting more time to introduction of key concepts
- Focusing on one key idea only per lesson
- Keeping the whole class together
- Concentrating on pupils’ thinking (as well as doing)
- Anticipating difficult points and misconceptions
- Choosing representations and models carefully
- Planning questioning carefully
- Expecting and supporting precise explanations and reasoning from pupils
- Applying variation theory
- Intervening quickly to support those falling behind

The Essence of Maths Teaching for Mastery, NCETM
The principles of mastery ensure teachers stay in the required key stage and support the ideal of depth before breadth. They support pupils working together as a whole group and provide plenty of time to build reasoning and problem solving elements into the curriculum.
