Maths at Barnwood largely takes shape in the form of 'White Rose Maths', however other high quality resources such as NRICH, 'I See Maths' and mastery resources from NCETM are used to deepen pupils' mathematical understanding and promote rich discussion. 

In line with the national curriculum (2014), daily maths lessons are broken down into a series of small, connected steps, each building on the children’s prior knowledge and learning. Each lesson focuses on one small step or a series of small steps. Throughout the school, mathematical concepts are introduced using concrete manipulatives, supported by pictorial representations in order for children to use abstract approaches to develop a conceptual understanding of mathematics. Through using all three, the children explore and demonstrate their mathematical learning. Together, these elements help to cement knowledge so children truly understand what they have learnt. Teachers plan, deliver and adapt lessons to address the needs of all pupils with the use of scaffolding, skillful questioning, intervention and carefully designed enriching activities. Within the lesson, children have the opportunity to practise fluency, reason their understanding and solve-problems and this may be part of whole-class learning, group work or when they reach “Do it, Stretch it, Solve it” where children complete well-thought out problems designed by the teacher.

A typical daily lesson

1. Introduction of small steps of learning
2. Teach it : introduction , hook, modelling, concrete resources, what it is, what it's not
3. Do it : do it - simple examples, opportunity to practise
4. Stretch it : active argument (yes/no true/false) misconceptions
5. Solve it : missing digits/symbols .Generating the question. Probing question (always/sometimes /never)
