Welcome to Maths

At the end of their primary school journey at Ayrton, we believe that a successful mathematician:

• will be resilient and confident
• will build on prior learning to develop fluency and mastery
• will be problem solvers who can transfer those skills to solving problems in an array of contexts
• can apply their skills to reason clearly about maths and in an array of different contexts
• can work independently and collaboratively in order to share their skill sets with their peers and support each other to problem solve.
• will enjoy maths and seek further study as they progress through secondary school and beyond, continuing to build on their prior knowledge and understanding.
• have a strong and deep understanding of key mathematical concepts

Implementation

At Ayrton, mathematics is sequenced and planned using Mathematics Mastery. Our maths curriculum:

• builds upon learning and allows pupils to make deep connections across topics
• encourages the use of multiple representations, including concrete and pictorial representations to strengthen conceptual understanding
• focuses on children accessing and using accurate mathematical language to communicate and solve mathematical problems from EYFS through to Year 6
• consists of teacher led and collaborative modelling of different concepts and strategies which then leads to independent learning for children.
• enables children to build on prior learning ensuring opportunities for all to master maths, developing their fluency, problem solving and reasoning skills.

Impact

In order to measure success we:

• carry out daily purposeful assessment for learning, which enables teachers to address any misconceptions immediately and extend learning through challenge.
• ensure that children have a secure understanding of mathematical concepts before continuing to the next step and eventually reaching mastery.
• assess for each area of maths using pre and post diagnostic assessments which then informs planning
• carry out rigorous gaps analysis after summative assessments to plan next steps for all children

Enrichment

At Ayrton, mathematical learning is not just confined to maths lessons and opportunities for this can be found in science, computing and our Horizons topic work. Maths skills can also be applied to problem solving in real life contexts such as cooking and PE lessons and children are encouraged to take part in visits out of school to participate in workshops where able. Maths lessons are planned with real life contexts in mind so that children can apply their knowledge outside of school.
