Our vision is that all children leave Longnor CE Primary School in year six having:
- Developed FLUENCY in concepts, number facts and calculation.
- Had opportunities to REASON and EXPLAIN mathematically.
- Applied efficient methods when SOLVING PROBLEMS.
Our spiral curriculum is carefully sequenced to allow for small steps in progression and opportunities to revisit topics regularly. Opportunities for problem solving and reasoning are built into careful lesson design within each sequence of lessons. Here is an overview of our mathematics topics:
Overview of topics years 1 and 2
Overview of topics years 3 and 4
Overview of topics years 5 and 6
Knowledge is mapped term by term according to clear end points – sequentially designed to meet end of year expectations by the end of the summer term. Knowledge is assessed through success criteria and according to term end points.
year 3.4 autumn term medium term planning
year 3.4 spring term medium term planning
year 3.4 summer term medium term planning
Within mathematics, models and images are essential tools to build a deep understanding of a concept. At Longnor CE Primary School, our philosophy for building a schemata is based on an EYFS principle by Juliet Roberson: concrete, pictorial and abstract. With plenty of opportunity to explore with models and images, we plan sequentially our lessons using the EEF metacognition and self-regulation sequence:
