Maths
Our Vision
At Westbury Park, we aim to inspire children to develop an appreciation of and enthusiasm for mathematics. Children will have sound knowledge of mathematical skills that they are able to apply to other subjects and real life contexts. They will understand the value in making a mistake and have the ability to problem solve independently and as part of a team. Children will have a passion for the subject of maths and will have the ability to challenge themselves when appropriate. Our mathematical curriculum fosters a transferable set of skills, including those that are unique to maths, as well as characteristics of learning that support all areas of life-long development.
Supporting your child at home
At støtte dit barn med deres matematik derhjemme kan være udfordrende, når du ikke har været i klasseværelset og lært med dem. Nedenfor er håndbøger for hver årgang, der beskriver de metoder, der undervises i og bruges i matematiktimerne. Ved siden af de visuelle repræsentationer er der videoer, der forklarer, hvordan børnene bruger metoden i klasseværelset. Bemærk venligst KS1-videoer kommer snart!
Vi håber, at disse vil hjælpe dig med at støtte dit barn med deres hjemmelæring i matematik.
Fundemental mathematical skills
Vi tror på, at der er grundlæggende matematiske færdigheder, som vil give børn et grundlag for deres læring: tidstabeller, talbindinger og formelle skriftlige metoder. Disse områder af matematik er sammenflettet i de fleste af vores lektioner, gennem sang, test, diskret undervisning og påmindelser rundt i klasseværelset. Du kan få lidt mere at vide om de metoder, vi bruger i vores beregningspolitikker.
What do the children say?
"We always add more to our learning in maths. We learn little bits each year. I'm in Year 6 now and I can use long division. Before that, I had to learn to share, then use bus stop and then think about remainders. Now I can divide large numbers with a new method."
"I love it when you learn something completely new. You think it is completely new and then you realise you are using things you already know, like your times tables."
"Sometimes I need some help to get me started or I will draw it out on my whiteboard to see if I can do it myself."
