Maths at Rodmersham
Master the Curriculum
We have adopted Master the Curriculum in Key Stage 1. It offers resources aligned with the White Rose Maths framework and the National Curriculum. Each of our resources is designed to help children work towards maths mastery and have fun while doing so — because enjoyment can make a world of difference to children’s engagement with education.
The White Rose Maths Scheme
In school for Key Stage 2, we use The White Rose Scheme for Maths. This scheme is written in blocks for every year group, and each block comes with a set of lessons, which are often accompanied by videos and/or PowerPoint presentations.
Blocks of learning
For each year group, the learning scheme includes an overview of the maths your child should be learning at any point in the year.
Each year is split into three terms (autumn, spring and summer), and each term comprises individual blocks of learning about a particular topic.
You’ll notice that we spend lots of time building strong number skills in Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2 and early years. These essential core skills lay a solid foundation for more complicated learning later on.
Sometimes we might be a little behind or ahead of the scheme schedule. That’s fine; we deliberately build flexibility into the scheme to allow for these variations. The priority for the children is to master the mathematical concept in small, coherent steps, regardless of how long this takes
White Rose Booklets for home
White Rose Maths has produced a range of workbooklets for parents and children to use. These booklets are a fantastic resource that supports the learning the children are doing within their lessons in school. These booklets can be found on Amazon for the Kindle allowing you to access the booklets without the need of a printer.
