Maths
Subject Leader: Mrs Lomax
At Yew Tree Primary, we strive to create a love and passion for maths. Our curriculum is carefully planned to ensure coverage is balanced, structured and allows for deep learning.
We use White Rose Maths as our Maths curriculum spine, and supplement this with additional resources when appropriate for our children. We use pedagogy developed in Shanghai to design lessons which take small steps in learning to build up the children’s knowledge. Whole class teaching is carefully differentiated through targeted questioning and different levels of support structures. Pupils will often work collaboratively, enhancing their reasoning skills as they support their peers. Our children are enthusiastic and resilient in maths, they are willing and able to explain their thinking using accurate mathematical vocabulary.
To complement our maths sessions, we also use Times Table Rock Stars and Numbots to support and develop the children’s fluency in times tables and addition and subtraction within 20.
