The National Numeracy Strategy underpins all our work in Mathematics. Teachers draw on a wide variety of resources to broaden and strengthen the teaching and learning of mathematics in both Key Stages. All children are encouraged to develop numerical fluency by working with numbers ‘in their heads’. The Children’s mathematical experiences are a balance of practical, oral, written and mental mathematics through class teaching, group and individual activities. Numeracy is taught across the curriculum, wherever relevant, to enhance understanding. The Children are encouraged to apply their knowledge of numeracy and develop independence through solving problems and using numeracy in ‘real-life’ contexts. The Math’s strategy has 7 strands and teacher objectives are aligned to these strands.
