MATHS AT LADBROOKE
The National Curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all children:
- Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time,so that children have conceptual understanding and are able to recall and apply their knowledge rapidly and accurately
- Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
- Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
At Ladbrooke, Maths is taught through blocked units of work. These blocks have been taken from the recommended White Rose scheme of work; our planning and lessons are in line with the materials produced alongside this guidance. We raise standards in Maths at Ladbrooke by enabling our children to develop confidence and perseverance through their lessons.
