Our Maths Curriculum incorporates ‘The Dimensions of Depth’ including:
Conceptual Understanding, Language & Communication and Mathematical Thinking-Which underpins ALL aspects of the curriculum.
It is of fundamental importance that every child leaves George Romney Junior School having acquired, developed, and retained the mathematical fluency required to be a successful adult.
Times Tables are a fundamental element to becoming a fluent mathematician, so we encourage regular practice of these facts, through fun and inspiring games and activities such as ‘TTRockstars’.
Problem Solving is at the heart and is embedded in All units. In order for everyone to develop mastery in maths, we ensure that we teach the key concepts in a variety of different ways; using manipulatives or through taking the learning outside or through hands-on investigation or practice.
We also use a drip-feed approach to the key arithmetic skills required with activities such as
‘Fluent in 5’ ensuring the children practice these skills regularly so that the knowledge is reinforced and eventually retained.
Teachers regularly use quizzes, note-taking, knowledge organisers, questions of the day, working walls, unit assessments, photos and key vocabulary to help support our children in the retention of key skills and knowledge.
