Mathematics
At St John Fisher RC Primary School, we are committed to providing a high-quality mathematics education that equips our children with essential skills for lifelong learning. We utilise the White Rose Maths scheme, which offers a structured and progressive approach to learning, ensuring that all children develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Central to our teaching is the CPA (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) approach, which allows children to explore mathematical ideas through hands-on experiences, visual representations, and abstract reasoning. This method caters to diverse learning styles and helps children grasp complex concepts more effectively. Additionally, we focus on the importance of multiplication and division through engaging activities and the Times Table Check, fostering fluency and confidence in these foundational skills. By integrating these innovative strategies, we aim to inspire a love of mathematics and empower our children to become confident, capable mathematicians.
1-Minute Maths App
Are you looking for a fast and fun way to help your child gain confidence and skill with number? If yes, then this FREE 1-Minute Maths app is your solution!
Each 1-minute task gives children engaging and targeted practice in basic number. The app covers a range of topics on arithmetic and subitising, and generates questions randomly so your child never sees the same ones in sequence – meaning they learn the concept and not a series of answers. Once a task completes, answers are presented on the screen giving your child instant feedback. It’s so simple to use and, most of all, lots of FUN!
What's more, the app has no specific starting point, so a child can pick up and play at any time, with no set place to start. Accessible AND easy!
