The children will be encouraged to use their math skills to solve mathematical problems and explain the reasoning behind their findings. Pupils will use learning resources known as ‘Maths manipulatives’ to support their understanding of new concepts and to consolidate what they already know. They will learn more about place value, number patterns, number facts and this will link this into everyday life such as money. Building on their existing knowledge they will explore numbers further so they are confident with two digit numbers and beyond. The adults use their knowledge of each child to extend their mathematical thinking as they explore the environment.Ĭhildren in Years 1 and 2 will be given a solid foundation in the basic building blocks of mental and written arithmetic. Our environment is set up to provide opportunities for children to weigh, measure and compare in practical contexts to solve real life problems. They learn the names of some 2D and 3D shapes and talk about their properties and they begin to learn about time. They use objects to add and subtract to 10 and solve problems and to identify patterns including halving, doubling and sharing. They are taught to have a deep understanding of number to 10 which includes counting, recognising, subitising, knowing number bonds and ordering.

In Reception, children have a daily Maths carpet session following the White Rose scheme of work. We use the White Rose scheme of work for EYFS which is a mastery-based scheme of learning for Reception pupils which includes detailed guidance which aligns with the new statutory framework for EYFS 2021. Control – Abacus has been designed to give teachers flexibility – offering structure when you want it, and freedom when you choose it.

Progression – to ensure every child can move on, Abacus is built on a series of detailed progression ladders.Understanding – that children need a robust understanding and secure foundation in maths to develop: – conceptual understanding – numerical fluency – problem-solving skills and mathematical confidence.The Three key principles underpinning Abacus are: At James Oglethorpe, in Year 1 – 6 we follow the Abacus scheme of work which follows the National Curriculum.
