At Holme upon Spalding Moor Primary School, we recognise the importance of mathematics throughout each child’s everyday life and future. We understand that maths learning is a journey achieved through exploration, clarification, practice and application over time. We aim to teach maths using a Mastery approach. Mastering maths means pupils acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. Through ‘Teaching for Mastery', we aim for pupils to not only become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly, but we also teach lessons that aim for children to demonstrate a deep, conceptual understanding of topics and be able to build on this over time. In our lessons, we build secure foundations that will result in greater mathematical development of thinking skills and application. We intend to give each child the self-confidence and resilience to reach their full potential by ensuring that they have the tools to calculate fluently, reason logically, problem solve and think in abstract ways.
