Mathematics
The intent of our mathematics curriculum at Wembury is to design and deliver a connected, ambitious curriculum using the NCETM Curriculum Prioritisation Materials. This will enable mathematics to be accessible to all and will maximise the development of every child’s ability and academic achievement.
At Wembury Primary school we teach through a Mastery approach. Our classroom practice and school organisation combine to give pupils the best chances of mastering mathematics. The Teaching for Mastery is based on the 'Five Big Ideas' which are woven through each mathematics lesson. For more information about the 'Five Big Ideas' please click here.
We intend to provide for SEND and disadvantaged children so they can achieve the best possible outcomes so they can be active and influential participants in lessons and later on in life. We want children to make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems, whilst recognising that mathematics is a descriptive quest to describe the world around them.
Children in EYFS, are taught through the Mastering Number programme set out by the NCETM. The programme does not cover shape, space and measure so this is taught through planned directed sessions and continuous provision. The continuous provision is available for the children to access daily and includes a wide range of mathematical resources for children to explore and play with.
