Mathematics
At Holland Junior School we teach Maths mastery in line with White Rose Maths. We strive to develop our children into self-motivated, confident learners who are able to use and apply mathematics in a wide range of situations. Our maths curriculum allows our pupils to develop a curiosity for maths as well as an enjoyment and passion for the subject. We aim to ensure that conceptual, pictorial and abstract (CPA) understanding is integrated into all lessons to enable all children with the ability to explain and reason about their learning. We recognise that mathematics is uniquely powerful in helping children to make sense of, and describe, our world and in enabling them to solve problems.
Maths Curriculum
"A high-quality mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world, theability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject." (National Curriculum 2014)
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
- become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately
- reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
- can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions
