Subject Leader - Miss L Nightingale

Our aim across Elston Hall Learning Trust (EHLT) is for all children to enjoy mathematics and have a secure and deep understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts and procedures when they leave us to go to secondary school. We want children to see the mathematics that surrounds them every day and enjoy developing vital life skills in this subject.

As a school we follow the 2014 National Curriculum and cover the subjects and topics as outlined in the statutory guidance.

Mrs L Nightingale has curriculum responsibility for maths and she can be contacted if you require further information.

Pupil Voice

I enjoy maths. I don't worry if I don't get it

straight away. My teacher explains it to me again in a different way and I understand.

I really liked Number Day, we got to play TTRS and we did some fun activities. Jakub Year 6

On Number Day, I liked all the maths games and song we did.

Grayson Year 4

I really enjoyed Number Day as we made riddles and drawings. I even wore a t-shirt with numbers to represent how numbers are useful! Plus, we went on TTRS for a tournament between different schools. Zulekha, Year 6

On Number Day, I liked doing the number hunt because it was like a mystery because we had to find the equations and solve them. Dhyaan Year 4

I liked doing the Ancient Egyptians activity because it gave you challenging equations for you to complete. I also liked the TTRS competition.’ Year 4

Bar Models

Bar models are pictorial representations of problems or concepts that can be used for any of the operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In word problems, they hold the huge benefit of helping children decide which operations to use or visualise problems. It is then up to the children to calculate the answer.
