Maths

At Spaldwick we provide a mastery curriculum which follows the small steps progression of White Rose Maths. Our curriculum caters for the needs of all individuals and sets them up with the necessary skills and knowledge for them to become successful in their future adventures. We aim to prepare them for a successful working life.

We incorporate sustained levels of challenge through varied and high quality activities with a focus on fluency, reasoning and problem solving. All children are taught with the expectation that they will achieve the lesson outcome; they use appropriate mathematical vocabulary to reason and explain their workings. They are taught to explain their choice of methods and develop their mathematical reasoning skills. We encourage resilience and an acceptance that struggle is often a necessary step in learning.

Mathematics is embedded in the wider school curriculum in many other subjects; this allows our students to see how mathematics applies to many disciplines and how and why it is essential.
