Maths

Maths at Abbey Hill is taught using the White Rose Maths Schemes of learning. The school’s long term plan has a particular focus on ensuring pupils acquire the key knowledge they need to progress and succeed in maths.

Our aim is to ensure all pupils become fluent in the basic skills of mathematics and can:
• apply knowledge rapidly and accurately
• reason mathematically
• solve problems by applying their mathematic knowledge and skills
• use maths vocabulary with understanding to reason, problem solve, communicate and explain.

Pupils work systematically in mathematics and can make connections between concrete, pictorial and abstract representations. A wide range of both physical manipulatives and visual representations are used from F1 to Y6 to support learning in maths.

Counting and arithmetic skills are taught daily at Abbey Hill as well as frequent teaching of number bonds, mental maths and multiplication and division facts. This
