At Kingshill, we aim to develop resilient learners who are confident whilst developing a curiosity and love of maths. The curriculum and teaching will equip pupils with the required skills of calculation, reasoning and problem-solving that they will need in the future. Teachers will expose children to a variety of concrete and pictorial representations which will deepen mathematical understanding.  The curriculum will be structured and taught in a way to ensure children have the ability to recall facts and solve problems fluently in a variety of contexts. 

We use 'White Rose Maths' to underpin our planning for Reception to Year 2. We have fortnightly maths assemblies and quiz questions for children to answer around the school. 

In Nursery, they have a weekly discrete maths lesson linked to the topic. Maths is incorporated into child-initiated learning through their environment.  In Reception, they have a daily discrete maths lesson and Maths is also incorporated into child-initiated learning through their environment.  

In Year 1 and 2 they have a daily discrete maths lesson.
