At Princecroft we are passionate about maths and want our children to be amazing mathematicians. We aim for all children to be fluent in the basics of maths, reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, and solve problems by applying their maths knowledge.
To develop fluency with basic skills, children use practical resources to learn their number bonds as well as regular recall and practice.
Children from Year 2 to Year 6 have daily times table practice using our ‘Learn It’ books and this is supported by the TT Rockstars online programme which is practised in school and at home.
Children can earn our 10, 20 and 100 club badges for learning their addition and subtraction facts, and our 72, 144 and 144 platinum badges for their multiplication and division facts.
We follow the Maths No Problem! mathematics programme which is based on the Singapore mastery method of teaching. The children have a daily maths lesson with direct instruction from the teacher supported by a textbook and workbook for each child to complete an exercise each day.
There is a clear progression through each Maths No Problem unit of work. Children are initially taught concepts using concrete materials, which then moves onto pictorial representations and finally into abstract concepts.
The consistent approach through the school is evident. The scheme is matched to the national curriculum and full coverage is evident in the scheme.
To help children retain their mathematical learning in their long term memory, children have regular Maths Meetings where they revisit learning from recent lessons and from previous year groups.
