Maths

​At Ashby Hill Top Primary School we have adopted a mastery approach for the teaching of mathematics. Underpinning this pedagogy is the belief that all children can achieve in maths. We believe in promoting sustained and deepened understanding by employing a variety of mastery strategies, with teaching for conceptual understanding at the heart of everything we do. We aim to create independent mathematicians who are well equipped to apply their learning into a variety of situations and the wider word.
 
We aim to provide the children with full access to the National Curriculum, enabling them to achieve confidence and competence in mathematics.
 
Key features of our mathematics curriculum:
  • High expectations for every child
  • Fewer topics, greater depth
  • Number sense and place value come first and are constantly revisited through retrieval practice
  • Teaching for retention 
  • Concrete, pictorial and abstract approach to calculations – understand why it works
  • Problem solving and reasoning in every lesson and for every child
  • Variation – showing in a variety of ways, noticing patterns, connections
 
The mastery approach places emphasis on the cumulative mastery of essential knowledge and skills in mathematics. It embeds a deeper understanding of maths by adopting a concrete, pictorial and abstract approach so that pupils understand what they are doing rather than just the learning to repeat routines without grasping what is happening.
 
Our approach enables to children to...

  • Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils 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 of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
