Maths Unit Progression Overview
This overview details the learning that the children will be completing each year, showing how this learning builds and develops as the children move throughout Redwood.
Lesson by lesson overviews
These lesson by lesson overviews give a rough outline of the learning objectives that will be taught each year. To make sure that the needs of all children are met, these lessons are subject to change to suit the needs of different year groups and individual children.
Calculation Policies
A typical lesson at our school
1. Teaching for memory - at the start of a lesson the children will practice a skill that has been taught previously, to encourage a secure understanding and mathematical fluency.
2. Lessons include small, coherent steps to success that all children can follow and use to be successful.
3. Using manipulatives (e.g. the bar and counters) as well as visual representations (e.g. drawing bars and counters) to create a deep understanding of a topic.
4. Making links to the quickest, abstract methods (in this case the link between fractions and division).
Dress as a Rock Star!
In FS2 and KS1, we use NumBots to support our core understanding of maths from an early age. NumBots is well aligned with our maths scheme, White Rose maths. The aim of NumBots is to help children reach a level of mathematical fluency and problem solving. NumBots provides children with access to regular practise both at home and in the classroom.
