Maths at Central Street
Our approach to teaching in maths is one that is based on concrete, pictorial and abstract use of number which children can then use confidently to reason and solve problems. We encourage children to develop their mathematical thinking as well as their knowledge of maths. Children regularly practise mental recall and key skills in addition to maths lessons where new skills are introduced and children have the opportunity to apply and consolidate their learning in a variety of ways.
We are currently using the White Rose Maths schemes of learning and resources as a guide to planning.
