STRATFORD PREPARATORY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM
The following document will cover the teaching of mathematics throughout the school, from the Nursery to Year 6.
Introduction:
AIMS
Mathematics teaches us how to make sense of the world around us through developing a pupil’s ability to calculate, to reason and to solve problems. It enables pupils to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in both number and space in their everyday lives. In order to achieve this we aim:
1. To teach the basic skills of using and applying mathematics, counting and understanding number, knowing and using number facts, calculating, understanding shape, measuring and handling data throughout the school in a logical progressive and coherent manner. Pupils should become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, reason mathematically and be able to solve problems by applying their mathematics.
2. To structure our work in line with the targets stated in the Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum.
3. To make provision through extra support for pupils with particular difficulties in Mathematics.
4. To extend and challenge pupils of all abilities.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of mathematics are:
1. To promote enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning through practical activity, exploration and discussion.
2. To promote confidence, fluency and competence with numbers and the number system.
3. To develop the ability to solve increasingly complex problems through decision-making and reasoning in a range of concepts.
4. To explore features of shape and space and develop measuring skills in a range of contexts.
5. To understand the importance of mathematics in everyday life.
LEARNING SUPPORT IN MATHEMATICS
Pupils with particular problems will be assessed to determine the type of help they need.
If necessary, a strategy will be developed to support the pupil. An Individual Target Plan (ITP) may be formulated. Some pupils may be withdrawn from class to work individually or in small groups if this is considered necessary. In other cases support may be given by a teaching assistant within the class as directed by their mathematics coordinator and subject teacher.
The class teacher will work closely with parents, informing them of any decisions made and suggesting ways in which they may help.
Pupils who are identified as Able, Gifted and Talented in Numeracy are given extra opportunities to develop their problem-solving skills. Differentiated work is se , when appropriate, in lessons to challenge and extend pupils of all abilities.
NURSERY – MATHEMATICS
Maria Montessori believed that mathematics is concerned with making generalisations and theoretical models of the real world and that mathematics involves looking for patterns and relationships which can be expressed precisely in symbols. It also embraces a wide range of important ideas about number and space. Using those aspects of Montessori philosophy, our nursery classes develop the unique child, the ability to see underlying concepts, to be able to think and reason, not just to reckon and work with figures. Mathematics must be meaningful and learning must come from within. Montessori believed that even with very young children, we should put materials within the environment so that they can find mathematical truths for themselves. We should not force mathematical truths verbally onto children. She believed that children should work with things in the ‘concrete’ form, before coming across them in the ‘abstract’ form at a later stage of development. To achieve this goal she devised a series of graded pieces of mathematics equipment, of which we have several in the nursery. These are used for teaching a basic understanding of numbers 0 to 10, and the introduction of addition
and subtraction, if the children are ready for it. They also cover geometric shapes, time, money, measurement, weight, comparisons etc.
When working with the Montessori equipment the children will normally work individually, or in small groups, experimenting and repeating exercises until they have perfected the skill. There is no strict timing within the Montessori philosophy; children can remain practising for an indefinite length of time whilst doing particular exercises with different materials. They are storing subconscious knowledge, culminating in a conscious realisation at a certain moment.
We creatively blend our Montessori method of teaching to be compatible with the principles set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage. It is our aim to develop Mathematical understanding through all children’s early experiences including through stories, songs, games and imaginative play. We provide a range of activities, some which focus on mathematical learning and some which enable mathematical learning to be drawn out, for example, exploring shape, size and pattern during block play. The use of mathematical terms is encouraged by practitioners during all activities including play and daily routines.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment in the nursery is done purely on observation by the directress, and recording is done daily through observation record books and Early years foundation stage assessment records.
PROGRAMME OF STUDY – NURSERY MATHEMATICS
We have two classes in the nursery covering the ages of 2 to 4 years. We run 2 programmes of study. One for the 2-3 year olds, and the other for the 3 - 4 year olds.
2-3 YEAR OLDS
This is based very simply on:
Colour
Numbers 0 – 5 – symbols and values
Counting by rote from 1 – 10
Shape – circle, square, triangle, rectangle
Comparison – big/little
Matching
Positional language
Number rhymes and songs
Games and imaginative play
3-4 YEAR OLDS
This continues on from the 2/3 year olds programme with:
Colours and grading
Sorting by shape and size
Numbers 0 – 10 – symbols and values
Odd and even numbers between 1 – 10
Counting by rote from 1 – 20
Shape – circle, square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon
3D – sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, ovoid
matching one to one
comparison – heavy/light
observe and use positional language
number rhymes and songs
games and imaginative play
basic maths skills are reinforced by sing nursery activity books
The Nursery maths is planned in line with the government Early Years Foundation Stage. Children are supported in developing their understanding of problem solving, reasoning and numeracy in a broad range of contexts in which they explore, enjoy, learn, practise and talk about their development.
They are provided with opportunities to practise and extend their skills in these areas and to gain confidence and competence in their use.
The Montessori method of teaching blends well with the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements allowing all the children the best opportunities for effective mathematical development.

EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE -RECEPTION YEAR MATHEMATICS
Mathematics in the Reception Year builds on and extends many of the mathematical concepts begun in the Nursery Class. The Reception class is the final stage of learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage and the children follow a programme of study which follows the principles and objectives set out by this guidance. Reception class pupils are also acquainted with much of the groundwork necessary for initial work linked with Year 1 of the National Curriculum Key Stage 1. Pupils are encouraged to learn through practical activities, discussion and teacher led sessions. They work in a variety of ways, as appropriate to the concepts being undertaken; sometimes as a whole class, sometimes in small groups, and sometimes individually.
Heinemann Mathematics 1 reinforces the concepts taught during this year, but work from other sources is also used for consolidation and extension purposes, depending on the needs of the individual.
PROGRAMME OF STUDY – RECEPTION YEAR
The Programme of Study for the Reception class is devised from the Early Learning goals of the Early Years Foundation Stage. There are two areas of learning for Mathematics: Numbers and Shape, Space and Measures. Each of these areas is then broken down into more specific objectives.

MATHEMATICS
NUMBERS
Children count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems including doubling, halving and sharing.
SHAPE, SPACE AND MEASURES
Children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.
PROVISION FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
Less able pupils are initially supported by the class teacher through supplementary work produced by the teacher. If a child has a continued difficulty a separate programme of work may be devised appropriate to that child’s needs. The pupil may receive extra support within the classroom or as part of a small group outside the classroom.
More able pupils including those identified as Able, Gifted and Talented will be given extension work or differentiated activities designed to extend challenge and develop problem solving skills.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
All pupils are given an equal opportunity to succeed in maths lessons. Work is carefully graded to cater for individual needs for both more and less able.
RESOURCES
The classroom has an interactive white board with internet link.
The computer suite with interactive whiteboard can be used for whole class teaching when required.
Resources used by Reception class are listed in the Resource List. This includes details of textbooks, teacher books, computer software and practical equipment.
KEY STAGE 1 – INFANT 2 AND 3 ( YEARS 1 AND 2)
The principle focus of mathematics teaching in Key Stage 1 is to ensure that pupils develop confidence and mental fluency with numbers, counting and place value.
They should develop their ability to recognise, describe, draw, compare and sort different shapes and use related vocabulary. They should use a range of different measures.
By the end of Year 2 they should know the number bonds to 20 and be precise in using and understanding place value.
INFANT 2 – YEAR 1 – MATHEMATICS
Mathematics in Infant 2 builds on and extends many of the mathematical concepts begun in the Reception Class. Addition and subtraction work is consolidated and extended, and multiplication is developed in more depth.
Pupils are encouraged to learn through practical activities, discussion and teacher – led sessions. Emphasis is placed on using materials to introduce concepts being undertaken; sometimes as a whole class, sometimes in small groups, and sometimes individually.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
Less able children are initially helped by the class teacher using supplementary work produced by the teacher. Where a child has a problem which is not solved in this way an individual programme of work may be devised more suited to their needs and a supplementary workbook
considered. The pupil may receive extra support individually or as part of a small group within the class from a teaching assistant or outside the classroom with the school SENCO.
More able pupils including those identified as Able, Gifted and Talented will be given extension work or differentiated activities designed to extend challenge and develop problem solving skills.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
All pupils are given an equal opportunity to succeed in maths lessons. Work is carefully graded to cater for individual needs for both more and less able.
RESOURCES
The classroom has an interactive whiteboard which is linked to the internet.
The computer suite with interactive whiteboard can be used for whole class teaching when required.
Resources used by Infant 3 are listed in the Resource list. This includes details of textbooks, teacher books, computer software, OHP laminates, practical equipment and videos.
MATHEMATICS IN THE JUNIOR DEPARTMENT
Following on from the Infant Department, the mathematics curriculum in the Juniors is also linked closely to the guidelines in the National Curriculum for mathematics.
Heinemann mathematics is used to reinforce and extend the concepts taught. Work from other sources is also used to introduce a concept or for consolidation and extension purpose depending on the needs of the individuals. Teaching will largely be done to the programmes of study set out in the National Curriculum, in ways appropriate to each child’s abilities and the objectives in the termly teachings programmes will be derived from this, in the main.
The school uses a variety of teaching and learning styles in mathematics lessons. The combination of individual work, group work and whole class teaching enables pupils to develop independence and initiative in maths. Important concepts are introduced in class lessons and reinforced by the Heinemann work scheme. The teaching will consist of a mixture of different elements such as directing, demonstrating, explaining and illustrating, questioning and discussing, consolidating, evaluating and summarizing.
LESSON ALLOCATION
The Junior Department has 8 lessons of 35 minutes per week specifically dedicated to teaching of mathematics.
The lessons are as follows:
4 lessons and 1 homework based on Heinemann Mathematics.
2 lessons and 1 homework based on Target Mathematics, K.A. Hesse, Collins Basic Skills or SPMG as appropriate.
1 lesson and 1 homework of maths assessment.
1 lesson for mental maths.
Each lesson includes an oral mental warm-up activity, the main teaching activity and a plenary to summarise key points. Homeworks are 20 minutes duration for Junior 1 and 2 , - 30 minutes for Junior 3 and Junior 4.
Juniors spend one week each term doing a mathematical investigation.
Children work individually, at times in groups or with a partner, or as a whole class. Pupils are encouraged to do practical work and make use of apparatus when appropriate. Computer software and investigational materials are also used when appropriate.
CROSS CURRICULAR LINKS
On many occasions mathematics will link to other areas of the curriculum and topics covered throughout the school year. It is recognised that the teaching of mathematics may also be achieved through other subjects of the curriculum. This mathematics is not seen in isolation and can be related to other subjects and work within the classroom and indeed as an integral part of our everyday lives with work being related to ‘real’ situations.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment is continuous and occurs in 3 phases, short, medium and long term, the results of which are used to inform future planning.
Short term Assessment : informal, day to day assessment, through individual feedback between teacher and pupil, through classwork, both oral and written and through observation. These short-term assessments help us to adjust our lesson plans.
Medium Term Assessment – to measure progress against key objectives and to help plan the next scheme of work.
Long Term Assessment – both formative and summative assessment. This takes place following the twice yearly examinations and including optional Y3-4/5 tests, at the end of Key Stage 2 National tests in Junior 4/Year 6. Results are recorded electronically using the SPS tracker system. Individual results are tracked against National results and this information is used to inform provision of extra support and identification of Able, Gifted and Talented pupils. Progress of cohorts are monitored carefully comparing to national and historical results. This in turn informs our future planning.
Pupil’s individual progress is recorded in each child’s APP record sheet and this is used to inform our yearly National curriculum teacher assessment levels. Assessment records are kept electronically on the SPS tracker and a hard copy is filed in each classrooms Assessment File. All tests are analysed and results are used to inform future planning.
Parents are requested to ensure that homework is completed and homework diaries are signed at the end of the week. Parents can approach members of staff whenever necessary to discuss their child’s progress. There is a formal parent/teacher evening termly and reports are issued twice yearly.
Discussion regularly takes place between Junior staff and, where necessary, between Junior and Infant staff in the interest of each child’s progress.
DIFFERENTIATION
Variation in ability within the class is acknowledged, identified and catered for by the provision of differentiated activities. Specific details of these are made in the lesson plans.
Pupils requiring extra support in Mathematics will be identified by the subject teacher and maths coordinator. Provision will be made for them either within the classroom working with a teaching assistant or out of the classroom working with the school SENCO.
More able pupils including those identified as Able, Gifted and Talented will be given extension work or differentiated activities designed to extend challenge and develop problem solving skills.
KEY SKILLS
The opportunity to develop Key Skills in all 6 areas will be provided throughout the delivery of the Mathematics Curriculum in the Junior Department. These are:
1. Communication2. IT3. Working with others4. Improving own learning and performance5. Application of number
6. Problem Solving
ICT
Whenever appropriate ICT is used to support and consolidate classroom learning.
TARGETS
Individual Numeracy Targets are set at the end of each year and are reviewed termly. Key Stage 2 Targets for Year 6 are set in Year 5 and reviewed in year 6 for Key Stage 2 National Tests.
LOWER KEY STAGE 2 – JUNIOR 1 AND 2 –YEARS 3 AND 4
Junior 1/Year 3 is the first year in Lower Key Stage 2 Mathematics. The aim is to enable the children to make steps towards becoming more numerate; to become more fluent with whole numbers and the four main operations, to build on the skills learnt at Key Stage 1 and to give children confidence through their achievements.
Heinemann Mathematics 4 forms the basis for this year with Target Mathematics Year 3, Graded Arithmetic Practice Books 1 by K.A. Hesse Basic Skills Mathematics 2 by Collins Education and Scottish Primary Mathematics Stage 2 textbooks used for class lessons. The combination of individual work group work and whole class teaching enables pupils to develop independence and initiative in maths. Important concepts are introduced in class lessons and reinforced by the Heinemann work scheme. Other texts are also used depending on the children’s needs to cater for more able and less able child. The four basic operations are taught and reinforced during this year.
PROGRAMME OF STUDY – JUNIOR 1 – YEAR 3
Pupils are encouraged to use and apply mathematics in practical tasks and in real life problems. They are encouraged to select materials and methods appropriate to the tasks set. They are given regular opportunities to discuss their mathematics. They should develop mathematical language in written and oral work and in their use of diagrams and graphs.

Pupils use mathematical symbols, diagrams and words to describe situations and present information in a clear and organised way. They draw simple conclusions of their own and give an explanation of their reasoning.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
Pupils work at their own rate through the Heinemann Mathematics Work Scheme. The majority will be on Book 6 or Book 7 but pupils who have not achieved this will be encouraged to continue at their own level. If appropriate a pupil will work at an advanced rate to catch up.
More able pupils may be accelerated through Book 7 and begin work on Book 8.
Each child is assessed individually according to their needs. Extension work is prepared for according to their needs.
Pupils experiencing difficulty will be initially helped by the subject teacher using Heinemann Reinforcement sheets if a pupil has a continued difficulty a separate programme of work may be devised appropriate to that child’s needs. The pupil may receive extra support within the classroom or as part of a small group outside the classroom.
More able pupils including those identified as Able, Gifted and Talented will be given extension work or differentiated activities designed to extend challenge and develop problem solving skills.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
All pupils are given an equal opportunity to succeed in maths lessons. Work is carefully graded to cater for individual needs of both more and less able.
RESOURCES
The classroom has an interactive whiteboard linked to the internet,
The computer suite with interactive whiteboard can be used for whole class teaching when required.
Resources used by Junior 4 are listed in the resource list. This includes details of textbooks, teacher books, computer software, OHP laminates, videos and practical equipment. There is a central area of equipment available for mathematics in the Junior Department and pupils are encouraged to be familiar with this, identify their own needs, fetch their own equipment (with permission) and return it when finished.
