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
Att stödja ditt barn med sin matematik hemma kan vara utmanande när du inte har varit i klassrummet och lärt sig med dem. Nedan finns handböcker för varje årskurs, som beskriver de metoder som lärs ut och används i matematiklektionerna. Vid sidan av de visuella representationerna finns videor som förklarar hur barnen använder metoden i klassrummet. Observera att KS1-videor kommer snart!
Vi hoppas att dessa kommer att hjälpa dig att stödja ditt barn med deras heminlärning i matematik.
Fundemental mathematical skills
Vi tror att det finns grundläggande matematiska färdigheter som kommer att ge barn en grund för deras lärande: tidtabeller, talbindningar och formella skriftliga metoder. Dessa områden av matematik är sammanflätade i de flesta av våra lektioner, genom skanderingar, tester, diskret undervisning och påminnelser runt om i klassrummet. Du kan ta reda på lite mer om de metoder vi använder i våra beräkningspolicyer.
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."
