Mathematics at Peasmarsh
All pupils at Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School love their maths learning and see themselves as budding mathematicians. Maths is taught daily in year groups so that all children can have targeted teaching with immediate feedback and opportunities for 'mathematical talk'.
Progression Statements
To learn mathematics effectively, some things have to be learned before others, e.g. place value needs to be understood before working with addition and subtraction, addition needs to be learnt before looking at multiplication (as a model of repeated addition). You will see this emphasis on number skills first, carefully ordered, throughout our primary curriculum. For some other topics, the order isn’t as crucial, e.g. Shapes and Statistics need to come after number, but don’t depend on each other. We try to mix these so pupils have as wide a variety of mathematical experiences as possible in each term and year.
