Intent

At South Camberley, our aim is to provide a high-quality mathematics education that equips every child with the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive as mathematicians. We aim to develop fluent, flexible thinkers who can reason, problem solve and apply their understanding in real-life situations.

Our curriculum is carefully sequenced (using White Rose & NCETM) to build deep conceptual understanding, ensuring that pupils make secure connections across number, geometry, measure and statistics. We prioritise mathematical talk, exploration and representation so that children can articulate their thinking and develop strong reasoning habits.

Implementation

In EYFS, children will be taught to understand mathematical concepts of number and shape through daily whole-class teacher input.  Adult interactions with children in the environment will embed their understanding, address misconceptions and move their learning on. 

Throughout KS1 & KS2, our maths lessons follow the same structure:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact

We aim for children to leave our school with: 

• Fluency in number facts and efficient calculation strategies 

• Confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems with perseverance 

• Reasoning skills that enable them to explain, justify and generalise 

• A positive attitude towards mathematics and a belief that everyone can succeed 

 

Curriculum Overview

 

“Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding.” – William Paul Thurston

“Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics.” – Dean Schlicter

 

"I love maths because we get challenges, and we get to work practically."

“We get to use resources and work with our friends.” 

“I use my maths skills in science"

“I always think in my head first to help me in maths and I learn about numbers every day.”
