Mathematics
At Cadmore End, we want every child to feel confident in mathematics and understand how it helps them make sense of the world. We teach pupils to work fluently with numbers, explain their thinking and use what they know to solve problems.
Mathematics is taught to individual year groups within our mixed-age classes. This means each year group follows the mathematics curriculum for its age. Teachers adapt lessons and provide support or further challenge according to pupils’ needs and starting points.
We use White Rose Maths to help organise learning in small, connected steps. Children explore ideas using practical resources, pictures and mathematical language before moving towards more abstract methods. They have regular opportunities to practise key facts, discuss different approaches, reason and apply their learning to unfamiliar problems.
Teachers check understanding throughout lessons and use what they learn to plan the next steps. Our aim is for children to develop secure knowledge, confidence and enjoyment in mathematics as they move through the school.
