Maths intent, implementation and impact

In line with our whole school curriculum intent, a structured cohesive approach to teaching Maths, allows our children to develop basic Maths skills that allow them to achieve and succeed in later life with a "Can Do" attitude.

Can Do Maths

The Can Do maths curriculum allows full coverage of the national curriculum. The objectives are sequenced over the year, but then also broken down into smaller steps to allow children to dig deeper.

The principles of the Can Do maths approach follow five "essentials":

  1. Convince - Convincing, justifying and explaining to others. The answer is only the beginning.

  2. Apply - Applying to different contexts, solving problems and making connections.

  3. Not - Understanding what it's 'not' as well as what it is.

  4. Draw - Drawing the concept to 'see' structures and relationships.

  5. Ok - It's OK not to be able to do it......yet. It's OK to make mistakes.

Each year group follows a road map, which is broken into terms - see document below. Each of these road maps is then turned into a termly plan with allocated small steps, which marry up to the dates and weeks of each term. These documents show how each small step links to the KPIs (key performance indicators) as well as the ready to progress DfE criteria.
