Mathematics
At Otley All Saints C.E. Primary School we aim to nurture a curiosity and love of mathematics and an understanding of the importance and relevance of maths in the wider world. We are enormously proud of all of our children, wherever they are on their mathematical journey and work hard to enable them to thrive as individuals.
We use a wide range of resources and representations to ensure that our children gain a good understanding of all mathematical concepts in order that we can successfully build on these solid foundations. We also equip and empower them to make rich connections across mathematical ideas, intelligent choices when problem solving and to explain their mathematical thinking.
We strive to teach maths in a way that is engaging, imaginative and fun for all. Our children enjoy opportunities to talk about their learning and mathematical understanding. We encourage children to develop resilience, confidence and enjoyment in stimulating learning environments and meaningful contexts.
Calculations Policy
Our maths curriculum is underpinned by a carefully written school calculation policy, which is regularly revisited and adapted in order that it can evolve to meet the demands of the curriculum and the needs of our children. Take a look below to see how we teach our calculations.
