Mathematics

At Kenyngton Manor School we give children the skills to tackle any problem, we challenge their thinking and deepen their understanding.

In the Early Years, children develop and deepen their understanding of number and number patterns in real life contexts and problem solving. In their independent play (indoors and outdoors) and when being taught directly by an adult, children interact with numbers, number patterns, shapes and measures.

As the children move through the school, from years 1 to 6, they will be taught a range of strategies and skills to enable them to attempt any problem. The children will learn about number, algebra, data handling, probability, shape and space.

At Kenyngton Manor, in Years 1 to 6, we follow the 'Maths No Problem' approach which supports children in developing their knowledge, skills and understanding. This approach involves lots of shared maths talk, the use of resources and the CPA (concrete, pictorial and abstract) approach.

The schedules below give a flexible outline on the aspects studied. Teachers may adapt this to ensure they meet the needs of all learners.
