Maths

Picture
Mathematics has beauty and romance. It's not boring place to be, the mathematical world. It's an extraordinary place; it's worth spending time there."
​Marcus du Sautoy


At Clanfield CE Primary School, we teach for a deep understanding of mathematical concepts aiming for all our pupils to develop into confident mathematicians who are curious to explore, question and reason mathematically.

Our approach to teaching mathematics is fully inclusive. We do not believe that our pupils have a fixed ability - so much so that we have eradicated the terms ‘low ability’ and ‘high ability’ from our school vocabulary. We believe that all pupils have the potential to become mathematicians through participating in our carefully designed maths lessons.

We have a strong focus on pupils using equipment and maths manipulatives, such as Place Value Counters and Diennes, to secure their understanding of the maths being taught, as well as the ability to calculate fluently.

We use the White Rose Maths Hub Long Term Plans across the school to ensure we cater for our mixed year classes and complement these with a variety of resources, including those recommended by the GLOW Maths hub.

Our curriculum provides opportunities for all pupils to reason and problem solve, to articulate their thinking and work on sophisticated challenges both independently and collaboratively. Meaningful feedback, an emphasis on number sense, communication and conceptual understanding to develop mathematical thinking are therefore essential components of our school’s approach to learning and teaching in mathematics.

In line with our 5 strands of the curriculum, the fundamentals of maths lie within our attitudes and skills for life offer. In addition, we look to study mathematical role models, such as Karen Uhlenbeck, who became the first female recipient of the Abel Prize and Maryam Mirzakhani who became the first woman and the first Iranian to win the Fields Medal, a top mathematics prize awarded every four years to outstanding scholars under 40. We also provide hands on experiences for maths including using skills such as weighing and measuring, to bake and create projects in DT. Examples of this include baking with our local Café/Bakery and studying the effect of fast fashion whilst making cushions in DT.
