Maths
"Without mathematics, there is nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers"
Shakuntala Devi
At St Stephen's Primary School, we believe that mathematics equips pupils with a uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world. Mathematics is integral to all aspects of life and with this in mind we endeavour to ensure that children develop a healthy and enthusiastic attitude towards mathematics that will stay with them and support them throughout their lives.
Using the Early Years framework and the National Curriculum for Mathematics in Key Stage 1 and 2 as a basis for all we do, class teachers plan and deliver a stimulating and thorough sequence of steps using a range of materials to support the teaching and learning of mathematics. Our main scheme is the White Rose maths scheme of work, supplemented with mastery resources from the NCETM and Third Space Learning.
At St Stephen's Primary School, maths is led by Mrs Lowe and supported by Mr Tinker.
