Maths

In line with our mastery approach to teaching, we use White Rose Maths and adapt to the needs of the pupils. Here are a few reasons ways:

Benefits of Using White Rose Maths For students
  • Promotes deep understanding of mathematical concepts
    White Rose Maths uses a concrete-pictorial-abstract (CPA) approach to teaching mathematics. This approach helps students to develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts by moving from concrete representations (such as objects) to pictorial representations (such as diagrams) to abstract representations (such as symbols and equations).
  • Develops fluency in mathematical skills
    White Rose Maths provides students with regular opportunities to practise mathematical skills. This helps students to develop fluency in these skills and to apply them to new problems.
  • Boosts confidence in mathematics
    White Rose Maths creates a positive learning environment where all students are encouraged to succeed. This helps students to develop confidence in their mathematical abilities.
Benefits of Using White Rose Maths For Teachers and Parents
  • Provides a clear understanding of the curriculum
    White Rose Maths schemes of learning are clear and comprehensive, and they outline what children need to learn at each stage of the curriculum. This can help educators to understand what their child is learning in school and to provide support at home.
  • Offers a variety of resources to support learning
    White Rose Maths provides a variety of resources to support learning, including lesson plans, worksheets, and videos.
  • Provides a consistent approach to teaching mathematics
    White Rose Maths is used by many schools in the UK and around the world. This means that parents can be confident that their child is receiving a high-quality education in mathematics at The Light Christian School.
