Why is Maths Important at King Richard III School?
At our school, we believe maths is for everyone. We want your child to feel happy and confident when learning maths.
Maths helps children:
- Solve problems in everyday life
- Understand numbers, shapes, and patterns
- Think clearly and make good decisions
- Get ready for future jobs like being a scientist, builder, teacher, or shopkeeper
- Use money, measure things, and read charts or graphs
We want children to enjoy maths and see how it connects to the world around them.
How Do We Teach Maths?
We use a programme called White Rose Maths. It helps us teach maths in small steps, so children can understand each part before moving on. It is fun, clear, and made for young learners.
You can also use White Rose at home! Visit the White Rose Parent Resources page to find free workbooks and ideas.
We also use NCETMs Mastering Number programme for children in Reception to Year 2 to ensure all of our children develop strong number sense - an essential basis for all other Maths.
