Maths
At Grange Community Nursery and Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that children have a positive and meaningful experience of Mathematics. We offer a curriculum that secures essential knowledge and skills, whilst giving the children many opportunities to use and apply their mathematical skills across the curriculum, through real life problem solving and mathematical investigations.
We use White Rose Maths to plan and teach from. A yearly overview for each year group suggests the teaching time needed for every block of learning. The schemes of learning have been carefully developed to ensure they are progressive and build on prior learning.
Times Tables
In KS1 our expectations are that ALL children will be able to rapidly answer times tables questions from the 2, 3, 5 and 10 X table by the end of Year 2.
In KS2 our expectations are that ALL children leave school able to answer any times table question rapidly.
All children in Years 2 to 6 have access to Times Table Rockstars, which is a fun, engaging and competitive way of learning times tables and aiding rapid recall of times tables.

‘With research-based resources and rigorous teaching support Numicon provides everything we need to create confident mathematicians.’
Numicon aids us in exemplifying the principles of maths mastery with concrete apparatus and imagery to embed deep understanding, the planning tools embody the aims of the 2014 National Curriculum by developing conversation, reasoning and problem-solving, which support children in achieving a greater depth of understanding.
