Maths
At Marlpool junior school we believe that every child is capable of improving their understanding of Mathematics and becoming a confident Mathematical thinker. Mathematics is taught through a "mastery" approach, which emphasises the importance of noticing connections between all areas of the Maths curriculum and encouraging children to explain their reasoning.
Mental calculation
Confidence in mental arithmetic is the key to being a successful Mathematician. Regular practice in our ability to remember key number bonds and multiplication tables enables us to improve the accuracy of our mental calculations.
Our Mental calculation policy and scheme of work provides examples of these key facts for each year group.
