At Gracefield we are implementing the government’s Framework for Teaching Mathematics published by the DfEE (Dept for Education & Employment).
We inspire our children to enjoy mental maths, which is taught daily to help them develop mental calculation strategies to be used in real life problem solving situations. Children are encouraged to develop the ability to talk about the subject with confidence and use the language of maths meaningfully.
Mathematical experiences begin at home and we continue to build on these through activities relating to number, shape and space, time, measurement, pattern and handling data.
Computers, calculators and other resources are used wherever they can enhance children’s learning and understanding. Our policy of weekly testing on number bonds and multiplication tables ensures that all children have a thorough grasp of these essential skills.
