Mathematics Curriculum: A Mastery Approach

 

Curriculum Intent

 

Our intention is to provide a high-quality mathematics education for all our pupils in order to equip them with the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

 

Curriculum Implementation

 

At Milford we teach maths using the mastery approach. Central to our approach are the 5 Big Ideas which underpin mastery in mathematics:

The 5 Big Ideas

Small, coherent steps throughout the lesson

Variation – a balance between conceptual and procedural understanding

Mathematical thinking - chains of reasoning; making connections

Fluency – application of efficient methods and flexibility with Maths                    

Representation and Structure – use of a range of ways both to represent a concept or non-concept, and to expose structures

 

 

We teach mathematics daily following the White Rose Maths Schemes Of Learning for mixed-aged classes. Teachers use this as a framework to plan effective, high-quality lessons.
