At High View School, we believe in a Teaching Maths for Mastery approach. Children are challenged through reasoning and problem solving tasks that aim to increase their depth of knowledge as well as their breadth of knowledge. Children make regular use of concrete and pictorial resources to support their learning and to help them to access new concepts. Our planning is supported by White Rose resources to ensure children are given opportunities to reason within every lesson and apply their problem solving skills regularly. Expectations for all children are high and we truly believe that every child can achieve in mathematics.
"When we use place value columns, we understand what happens better. If we just learnt formal methods, then we wouldn't properly understand the maths" Year 5
"I like maths because it's challenging. The teacher explains it really well. It's really fun when we play times table bingo. The resources are really helpful and improve our learning" Year 3.
