A high-quality mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
At Caythorpe we teach mathematics through real life contexts and providing frequent opportunities to problem solve and reason across the curriculum.
As a school, we subscribe to Times Table Rock Stars, and follow the White Rose Maths scheme of work.
Supporting your child at home
In Mr Murphy’s Maths workshop, he provides eamples of how you can support you child with maths at home – encourage your child to play TTRockstars or practice timetables (little and often is the key – for example, 5 mins a day). If you cannot access the app, let us know.
Explore maths in ever day contexts:
– Telling the time.
– Baking (weighing and measuring).
– Shopping (finding change, working out percentages, finding totals of amounts.)
– Managing their own budgets.
– Planning meals/parties etc (Multiplication, Division, fractions, percentages).
– Talk to your child about the maths they see in the everyday world.
– Practice other quick recall facts – little and often (See quick recall document that has been printed).
