MATHS
At Kirkby CE, we aim to provide the children with a Mathematics curriculum which will allow them to become confident individuals through developing their mathematical skills to their full potential. We also aim to present Mathematics as a challenging, exciting, creative and relevant subject in order to promote a positive and confident attitude.
As Mathematics is such an important life skill, we embrace a ‘Mastery’ approach to our lessons. The ‘White Rose’ scheme of learning is taught across the school, allowing pupils to spend longer on key mathematical concepts, most noticeably number. During these longer units, pupils will see mathematics in a real life context, before moving at an appropriate pace from the concrete/pictorial approach (supported by manipulatives including Numicon, Base 10, number tracks and number lines and place value charts) to the abstract.
