We care, we share, for the future we prepare

Maths

Mathematics teaches us how to make sense of the world around us through developing a child’s ability to calculate, to reason and to solve problems. It enables children to understand and appreciate relationships and pattern in both number and space in their everyday lives. Through their growing knowledge and understanding, children learn to appreciate the contribution made by many cultures to the development and application of mathematics.

 

At Shaftesbury Junior School we follow the White Rose Mathematics scheme of work to ensure we deliver a balanced Maths curriculum. We hope during the four years that our pupils are with us they will become  Confident children who are resilient, fluent mathematicians.

 

To do this we use a range of different strategies and resources to enrich our Maths teaching and make it accessible, engaging and give it purpose for the children. 

  • Times Tables Rockstars As a school, we subscribe to Times Table Rockstars. Use the link below to access the website. Each pupil has their own login details, if you are unsure what it is please ask your class teacher.
  • White Rose Parent workbooks White Rose have produced a parent workbook for each unit of Maths. Follow the link, scroll down to the relevant year group and choose the workbook that is relevant to your child. These are useful to work through with your child once they have finished a unit so you can see what we have been learning in class or for your children to practise their maths skills.
  • Maths with Micheal Here are some videos which helpfully explain how Maths is taught in schools and how it is different from when parents were at school. They cover several different areas of Maths and explain what we teach in school and how we teach it.
