Mathematics
‘The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics’.
By Paul Halmos
At St Nicolas, we aim to enable all children to be successful in their maths learning. We want all Children across our school see themselves as confident and able mathematicians, who see maths as a necessity for their future.
Our school’s approach to teaching mathematics delivers the aims of the National Curriculum through a focus on developing the core principles of maths mastery and is approached using the guidance and support of White Rose Maths (in years 1-6) and in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, using NCETM's Mastering Number. All children learn through a CPD approach (concrete, pictorial, abstract) and we encourage the use of manipulatives to support learning. The children are encouraged to show how they have answered a question to enable staff to see their thinking and methods used.
