Maths

Marner, we love maths!

We believe that all children can be successful in maths and Marner is full of enthusiastic mathematicians.

Marner Mathematicians:

  • Use concrete hands-on resources to build understanding
  • Practise their number facts
  • Draw, talk and do whatever they need to do to make sense of their learning
  • Talk about their maths and enjoy proving why their answer is correct
  • Make mistakes and learn from those mistakes.

And they’re resilient – they think:

  • This is hard!
  • What do I already know?
  • Now, how am I going to use it to help me work this question out?

Maths Curriculum

We follow the White Rose Maths Scheme of Learning. The curriculum is broken down into a series of ‘blocks’ with each ‘block’ broken down into a series of sequenced ‘small steps’. Each step builds carefully from the previous step, building on pupils’ prior knowledge to develop new skills.

Each small step is resourced using a variety of resources which include White Rose Maths resources and resources from I See Reasoning, Third Space Learning and NRICH.

The curriculum is cumulative so once a topic is covered, it is met many times again in other contexts. This progression document shows how the curriculum links to the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 National Curriculum and how topics are developed over time:

The White Rose Maths curriculum is designed to build understanding, confidence and competence in Maths - children become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, enjoy reasoning and learn how to problem solve.

At Marner, we want learning to be strong and secure so that children make progress as they move up the school and look forward to continuing their maths journeys at Secondary School.
