We operate a planning procedure agreed by the whole teaching staff, based upon the Programmes of Study and Statements of Attainment. We develop termly and weekly plans which give details of appropriate activities and outcomes.

The use and application of Mathematics to investigate and solve problems is integrated with work on number, algebra, shape, space, and handling data to ensure that we meet all legal requirements and to help the children think mathematically.

A range of styles of teaching are necessary for the teaching of Mathematics. Approaches need to be related to the topic itself and to the abilities and experience of both teachers and pupils.

Our Teaching at all levels shall include opportunities for:

• Teacher exposition;
• Discussion techniques (pupil/pupil and pupil/teacher) appropriate practical work;
• Consolidation and practice of fundamental skills and routines;
• Problem solving;
• The committing to memory and recall of a range of mathematical facts;
• Investigation work;
• Classwork, Group work, Individual work.
