Mathematics
We believe that Mathematics is essential and critical for everyday life, as it introduces children to many different skills, concepts and thinking strategies.
Maths at Goddard Park is a subject that involves confidence and competence with numbers and measure. It requires a secure understanding of the number system and an ability to reason and solve problems in a variety of mathematical contexts. A good understanding also demands practical understanding of the ways in which information is gathered by counting and measuring and is presented in graphs, diagrams, charts and tables
At Goddard Park we follow a mastery approach to Mathematics supported by the White Rose Maths Hub scheme of learning.
Children in Early Year and Key Stage 1 children also complete Mastering Number maths sessions. These sessions aim to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children. The aim is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number.
