Mathematics at St. Alban's Catholic Primary School

Here at St. Alban's Catholic Primary School we offer an enriching mathematic learning experience using the Maths - No Problem scheme. Our Maths lessons follow a mastery approach that we have worked to continuously develop over the years while we have been working with the Cheshire and Wirral Maths 'Sustaining Mastery' work groups.

Intent

In our lessons children are all given the opportunity to explore, discuss, become fluent, to reason and problem solve through using a variety of representations and methods to achieve this.

Children are encouraged to develop their maths vocabulary and deepen their learning through discussion and exploration of tasks ensuring that challenge is aimed at depth of knowledge while aiming to support children to make progress through the content at a similar pace. 

Implementation

Using a maths mastery lesson structure we offer all of our children a chance to discuss, explore and understand the topics. The mastery approach to lessons offers a greater emphasis on discussion and collaborative learning while engaging all the children. This also provides opportunities to push children to make good progress across the maths curriculum.
