Children at St Martin’s follow a mastery curriculum which ensures they develop a deep and secure knowledge and understanding of mathematics at each stage of their learning.

Our Maths teaching aims to ensure that all children:

• Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that children have conceptual understanding and are able to recall and apply their 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.

In line with the National Curriculum’s expectation that the ‘majority of pupils will move through the programmes of study at broadly the same pace’, all children will have access to the same content. To meet the differing learning needs of the children, teachers may adjust the pace of the lesson, provide further reinforcement or greater depth, reasoning and problem-solving learning opportunities.  

Times Tables Rock Stars

In Year 4, all children nationally will be taking an online Times Table Check on all multiplication facts up to and including 12x12 (you can find the Parent Information Guide attached below). To support this, children in Years 1–6 have access to Times Tables Rock Stars through their own username and password.
