Mathematics
A Brief Introduction To The Mathematics Curriculum
• We follow the National Curriculum for England
• The Curriculum sets out the Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
that students need.
• This is laid out in the Primary framework for Literacy and
Mathematics (2006)
Learning Objectives
• The Learning Objectives, around which teachers plan, according to
student needs, are arranged in to 7 strands.
• Using and applying Mathematics
• Counting and Understanding Number
• Knowledge and using Number Facts
• Calculating
• Understanding Shape
• Measures
• Handling Data

Effective Learning
For Learning to be Effective, Teaching and Learning Must:
• Build on prior learning and experiences
• Relate to real life
• Provide appropriate challenge
• Engage students in the learning
• Be reviewed and revisited periodically
• Be used and applied in a variety of situations
• Allow opportunities for discussion and experimentation
• Encourage students to rethink and restructure ideas
Is this what you remember from your
Maths lessons?
Key stage 1 – Years 1 & 2
Key Points
• A solid foundation is important on which to build
• Expectations and activities must be developmentally appropriate
• Students need to be successful and enjoy Maths – they also need
challenge
• Students should see value in their work
• Not all students will progress at the same rate – progress will not be
constant
• Not all students are ready for written calculation methods
Standard Written Calculation Methods
• Students will develop their written calculations as they
develop through Primary school. Let’s not be in too much of a
hurry.
• First they need to be able to understand basic mathematical
ideas and concepts
• Look at the Core Mathematical objectives for Years 1 and 2
in Strand 4- Calculating. Where do you see the first reference
to written methods?
Standard written methods should only be introduced when a
child has a secure knowledge and understanding of the process
involved and can clearly explain the strategies they have used.
Pre Calculation Essential Skills and Understandings.
• Say and use number names
• (know that a number name identifies the number of objects)
• Counting – 1 to 1
• Recognise and write numerals
• Count on and back
• Estimating a small group of objects
• Use more than and less than
• Find I more and I less
• Compare and order numbers
• Grouping
• Sorting
