Lessons are made as interactive as possible to involve as many children as possible in a non-threatening way. All children can be involved at their own level and their own way. Some children learn in different ways which is why we try to use equipment and visual resources.

When was this first said do you think? Standards in maths are poor . 1800’s. Children were taught processes and not to understand them Many adults and children had a fear of mathematics 2000 – 1997 ( 1997 SATs) How would you solve this question?

New Maths Curriculum The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils: become fluent in mathematics develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety or routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions Lets have a go – put in a problem

At Capel Manor At Capel Manor we encourage our children to understand that a problem is only a problem if they cannot solve it, to persevere, to have self-belief and the determination to succeed in solving the problems on order to be the best mathematicians that they can be. This demonstrates our value of resilience.

Areas of learning Areas of learning come under these 7 areas There are a number of objectives your child will be assessed with under each area and these will be given to you to take home at the end of the evening. This will give you a overview of the maths that you can support your children with.

New Curriculum Headlines Greater challenge – fractions of amount from year 1. Roman numerals from year 3 Quick recall of times tables up to 12 x 12 by the end of year 4. Moving from mental methods to pencil and paper more quickly. Mastery V Acceleration
