Mathematics

Fluency in number is key to accessing all areas of Mathematics confidently and securely. Knowing number facts ‘off by heart’ frees up space in a child’s working memory when they complete more complex calculations and allows children to reason and problem solve with greater depth, which alongside fluency, are the key elements of the Mathematics curriculum. We have devised a ‘Progression in Number Bonds’ scheme that children can systematically work through to ensure they are fluent and confident in their basic addition skills. The bullet points below set out how the scheme works, however if you have any queries please contact your child’s class teacher.

• Children will be given a set of number facts to learn over the course of approximately four-six weeks.
• They should practise these at home wherever possible and it will form part of their maths lessons.
• The aim is to be able to recall 20 facts over the course of a minute giving 3 seconds per answer. The questions will be in a random order.
• If children successfully recall all the facts successfully at the end of the four- six weeks, they will receive a certificate and the next set of facts to learn.
• Children will not be given a new set of facts if they still require practise on the current phase, instead they will practise that particular phase until the next assessment point.
• Children should aim to have all of the facts completed by the end of Year 2; however, it may be that they are completed further up the school so each child is secure and fluent with basic addition by the time they leave our school.

Progression in Number bonds

 

At St Mary and St Joseph's we use the NCETM Mastering number at Reception and Key Stage One programme which aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.
