Here at St Andrew’s we LOVE Maths!
We believe that Maths is not only essential to everyday life but it is also fun! We support our children to blossom into brilliant mathematicians who can reason, problem solve and be creative in their maths learning.
We teach children to:
We follow the guidance from WRM (White Rose Maths) and below you can find the overview for each year group (Reception- Year 6)
This year (2020-2021) we are introducing KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) for all children in KS1 and KS2. Each year group has 1 KIRF area to focus on each half term and this will be taught in their maths lessons. We would love it if you could support your child with their quick recall at home and have produced a guide to help you (linked here -> KIRFs @ St Andrew’s)
