At Woodhouse Primary School we encourage our pupils to be confident, resilient mathematicians with a love of learning and no fear of ‘grappling’ with difficult concepts and those expressed in an unfamiliar way. In our school, children are scaffolded, extended and supported through rapid teacher intervention, use of equipment and choice of strategies e.g. jottings/mental/resources. As such, teaching is both enabling and extending.
We aim that all pupils:
In mathematics lessons you will see:
Our definition of mastery:
Mastery is not just being able to memorise key facts and procedures. Mastery of the curriculum requires that all pupils:
Developing mastery with greater depth is characterised by pupils’ ability to:
In order to ensure progression we use the maps which have been produced by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM). The maps are structured and divided into sub categories to illustrate progression in key areas. Some statements appear twice and this is because the objectives have central relevance to more than one maths topic. This embraces our aim that pupils should make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems.
Bespoke progression documents for specific key areas also ensure that teachers are able to plan learning opportunities which enable pupils to transfer, build upon and deepen their knowledge and understanding.
Cohort overviews are the working documents that teachers use to plan. These are working documents and are adapted in response to pupils’ outcomes.
The following are bespoke progression maps created by the school based on those above from NCETM.
