Maths

At St John's we believe that a high quality Maths curriculum must inspire and provide children with a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and give them a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

Our Maths curriculum enables children to make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly complex problems.

This year we are focusing on embedding on embedding mastering number at KS1. Through this the children will develop a secure understanding of how to build firm mathematical foundations and have an understanding of appropriate manipulatives to support learning. We have also started mastering number in KS2 focusing on multiplication and division knowledge. In KS2 they will develop fluency in multiplication and division facts as well as confidence and flexibility with number which shows good number sense when looking at the multiplicative relationship.
