Intent for KS1 to KS2

At Iceni Primary Academy we aim to celebrate, promote and enjoy mathematics. We want all our children to value and appreciate their mathematical learning, whether they are competitive or intrinsic thinkers, striving to complete their next step, trying for a personal best, or simply enjoying learning a new method or mathematical concept.

To help children to achieve this we intend to:

  • foster an enthusiasm for mathematics by providing a whole school environment where we are all excited about maths.
  • provide a resourceful and engaging curriculum integrating it as much as possible into our creative topic based learning.
  • offer correctly adapted challenges each lesson to enable every child to progress and succeed.
  • offer Mastery or Greater Depth challenges.
  • offer lots of motivation to succeed with rewards, assessments and personal goals.
  • make maths resources available for children to practise at home
  • include maths into each half-term’s homework schedule.
By the end of EYFS:
Count objects, actions and sounds
Subitise
Link the number symbol with the cardinal number value
Count beyond 10
Compare numbers
Understand the one more than and one less than relationship with consecutive numbers
 

Explore the composition of numbers to 10

 
Automatically recall number bonds 0 to 10
Select, rotate and manipulate shapes in order to develop spatial reasoning skills
Compose and decompose shapes
Continue, copy and create repeating patterns
Compare length, weight and capacity

By the end of KS1 pupils should be able to:

  • Compare and order numbers up to 100 and use < > = .
  • Read and write all numbers to 100 in digits and words.
  • Say 10 more / less than any number to 100.
  • Count in steps of 2, 3 and 5 from zero and in 10s from any number

(forwards and backwards).

  • Recall and use multiplication and division facts for 2, 5 and 10 tables.
  • Recall and use + / – facts to 20.
  • Derive and use related facts to 100.
  • Recognise place value of any 2-digit number.
  • Add and subtract:
    • 2-digit numbers and ones;
    • 2-digit numbers and tens;
    • Two 2-digit numbers;
    • Three 1-digit numbers.
  • Recognise and use inverse (+ /-).
  • Calculate and write multiplication and division calculations using multiplication tables.
  • Recognise, find, name and write 1/3; 1/4; 2/4; 3/4.
  • Write and recognise equivalence of simple fractions.
  • Tell time to five minutes, including quarter past / quarter to.

By the end of KS2 pupils should be able to:

  • Use negative numbers in context and calculate intervals across zero.
  • Compare and order numbers up to 10,000,000.
  • Identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers.
  • Round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy.
  • Identify the value of each digit to 3 decimal places.
  • Use knowledge of order of operations to carry out calculations involving four operations.
  • Multiply: 4-digit by 2-digit.
  • Divide 4-digit by2-digit.
  • Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers.
  • Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in the simplest form.
  • Divide proper fractions by whole numbers.
  • Calculate % of whole numbers.

Implementation

Mathematics is planned and delivered by class teachers following the long term plan, using the National Curriculum for Mathematics 2014 and the Early Learning Goals in EYFS.

Teachers ensure that:

  • a minimum of 1 hour per day is dedicated to maths
  • maths sessions are organised and planned specifically for the intended class/children
  • sessions follow the long term plan as much as possible, although it is recognised that on occasion it may be necessary to repeat or continue with a maths topic in order for success
  • teachers include a variety of fluency, reasoning and problem solving skills
  • in addition to the daily lesson, 20 minutes a day is devoted to Same Day Interventions which are sessions for teachers to help any children who haven’t secured the maths from the daily lesson
  • once a week, children from Year 1 to Year 6 complete Digi-bugs or Club99 tests – success at each level is incentivised with prizes
  • at the end of each unit of work, children complete a prove it (labelled on the objective slip or copied onto green paper) to prove their independent understanding
  • for those that require it, appropriate intervention sessions are run; i.e. Rising Stars Maths; Max’s Marvellous Maths; Plus One; Power of Two
  • teaching assistants are deployed based in the needs of the class, working with groups, individual children or interventions
  • we celebrate achievements with the daily WAGOLL (what a good one looks like) and the weekly maths star badge given in assembly
  • team points are given out for full marks (or close to full marks) in mini-tests and quizzes.
  • alongside all of this TT Rock Stars and Mathletics is offered both at home and in school (some children choosing play these in their self-learning or golden time)
  • pupils in Years 3 and 4, whos are required to sit the statutory MTC (Multiplication Tables Check) at the end of Year 4 to determine if children can recall their times tables fluently, are provided  with opportunities each week for children to complete an MTC-style test in Years 3 and 4 so that children get exposure to the 6-second timescale for answering on a consistent device.
