Mathematics
Welcome to the maths section. We hope you will find the information and resources in this section useful so that you can support your child at home with mathematics. If you need any help or have any suggestions, please speak to the class teacher.
Children in Years 1 to 6 are taught a daily mathematics lesson. The curriculum is designed to enable children to work confidently with a range of mathematical concepts. The learning content is arranged into the following:
- Number and place value
- Addition and subtraction
- Multiplication and division
- Fractions (including decimals from Year 4 onwards)
- Measurement
- Geometry
- Statistics (from Year 2 onwards)
- Ratio and proportion (Year 6 only)
- Algebra (Year 6 only)
The specific objectives for each year group can be viewed by clicking on the links below. These objectives represent the aspiration for each child's achievement by the end of the academic year. Within some classes there may be children working below the expectations for their year group. Where this is the case, the school will be working to help the child to catch up with their peers. Where children have demonstrated a good grasp of the objectives for their year, the school will be working to deepen their understanding so that they can apply this knowledge in a range of problem solving contexts.
At Field Lane we want all our children to enjoy mathematics and to experience maths across the curriculum and through outdoor learning. In addition to this, we always look for opportunities to incorporate technology in our maths lessons such as using apps, quizzing games, QR codes etc.
Furthermore, we are keen for children to understand the 'part whole' and 'bar model' methods from an early age so that they feel confident at solving problems. In addition to this, we aim to use a CPA (concrete, pictorial and abstract) approach in our maths lessons.
