Maths

At Lyneham Primary School, our intent for Mathematics is to equip our children with a true mastery of Maths through rich experiences which builds confident fluency, logical reasoning and effective problem solving skills coupled with the language to articulate their understanding clearly and confidently.

Our curriculum allows children to better make sense of the world around them by making connections between Mathematics and everyday life. We endeavour to teach our children a rich and progressive curriculum underpinned by our school’s values of Aspiration, Respect, Responsibility, Cooperation, Perseverance and Kindness. Teaching curriculum content in blocks allows children to explore skills and knowledge in depth and gain a secure understanding of the subject matter. Key knowledge and skills are also revisited regularly allowing repetition to embed learning. A concrete, pictorial, abstract approach provides children with a clear structure in which they can develop their depth of understanding of mathematical concepts. We aim to ensure that mathematics is a high profile subject which children view positively and with a “can do” attitude.
