Maths Curriculum Intent:
At Covingham Park, children will make progress in their Maths learning and become confident in both mental and written methods which they can rely on to support them when solving problems. Children will become more fluent with number and are able to manipulate and ‘play’ with number. They will increasingly notice patterns and use this to build on their prior knowledge, confidently using the sentence stem: “Because I know… then I know…”. Children will develop the ability to reason and explain their thinking in order to justify their answers.
Maths Curriculum Implementation:
Maths across the school is taught with a problem-solving approach and skills are taught through reasoning activities. Each Maths lesson begins with arithmetic practice and then follows the structure of the 4E’s: Excite, Engage, Embed, Extend.
