Mathematics Mastery
We are very excited to be following the Mathematics Mastery Programme at OPPA! It is used throughout school from EYFS to Year 5. The principles that are central to Mathematics Mastery mean that maths lessons may look very different to what parents may expect.
The curricular principles are:
- Fewer topics in greater depth
- Mastery for all pupils
- Number sense and place value come first
- Problem solving is central
Pupils are not going to be accelerating through curriculum content, as they may have done previously, but going deeper into it through depth questions and tasks. This allows all children to meet their potential and ensures no child is left behind.
We will be inviting you in to watch one of our daily Maths Meeting soon so hopefully we will see you there.
Overview of Mathematics at OPPA
Our calculation policy shows which objectives each year group from year1-6 cover and the strategies or the ways the children will be taught to solve the problems. The information starts on page 11.
You said .... we did. After our parent maths mornings some parents suggested it would be helpful to see what the children learn over the year so we have added the yearly overviews below.
We believe that pupils should be encouraged to use mathematical language and full sentences throughout their maths learning to deepen their understanding of concepts. The following document explains what each word means.
