Maths at Kemsing
Maths at Kemsing is designed to encourage children to become proficient, resilient and enthusiastic mathematicians. We aim to achieve this by:
- Consistent planning and teaching for mastery from school-wide schemes of learning
- Providing a clear learning sequence which builds on prior learning and the development of new skills, which are revisited frequently.
- Developing number fluency through 'Mastering Number' and 'Fluency Boost' sessions and tasks
- Ensuring every learner is challenged and is supported to make progress from their starting points
- Using regular assessment strategies to ensure children are making progress and addressing gaps in learning quickly and effectively
- Developing reasoning and problem-solving skills across the mathematics curriculum
- Maintaining a purposeful, well-resourced and supportive learning environment
- Motivating children to reach their potential and foster a love of maths
- Nurture children's confidence when learning times tables through individualised challenges, including the 99 Club and Times Table Rockstars.
- Making maths fun! White Rose Infinity is a great way for children to review prior learning, practise new skills and have fun.
