Maths – Henry Chadwick Primary School

At Henry Chadwick we intend to create independent mathematicians that fully understand and can make connections between the different areas of maths. We follow the White Rose Long Term plan that allows time to develop deep and lasting understanding of concepts. Maths is taught daily using a mastery approach. We follow a small steps CPA approach using concrete apparatus and pictorial representations before moving on to abstract equations. During lessons, we look at a variety of different representations in order to allow children to ‘see’ the maths in a variety of different ways. In each lesson we encourage deeper thinking and problem solving to allow children to apply their skills in a variety of different ways.
