Maths

Welcome to Maths No Problem at Townfield Primary School!

At Townfield Primary School, we follow the national curriculum and deliver a ‘Maths Mastery Approach’ using the ‘Maths No Problem' scheme.

The Maths curriculum is ambitious and designed to give all learners, particularly the most disadvantaged and those with special educational needs, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. Where required, pedagogy is adapted so that all pupils including disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND are on the same knowledge journey towards the same endpoint. More able learners are also given the opportunities to excel in terms of their acquisition of long-lasting knowledge and understanding, and mastery of core mathematical skills. 

Problem solving, fluency and relational understanding are at the heart of the scheme. The planning and order of topics is carefully sequenced, ensuring that pupils build upon component parts from previous year groups in order to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. Children are given the opportunity to fully explore a topic and the underpinning procedures and methods before being given ample opportunity to practise and rehearse the new skill. Children are encouraged at all times to use efficient, neatly-presented methods in order to solve the problems.  All concepts are built on previous knowledge and pupils have ample opportunity to develop relationships between topics.

Knowledge and skills are constantly revisited and refreshed to ensure that they become embedded. These arithmetic skills are built upon in daily maths starters. In KS2, these short daily assessments focus on core mathematical facts such as times tables and number bonds. In KS1, children use NCETM resources to develop their understanding of number. 

Pupils come from a mixed urban area of Wirral. To build pupils’ cultural capital, we prepare children with the knowledge and skills for what comes next.  We realise the exploration of new skills and experiences helps to nurture resilience, curiosity, and creativity. Ultimately, this leads to the growth of new forms of cultural capital that makes a difference in individual mindsets and shapes the future.

Parts of the lesson - lessons are typically broken into four parts: 

  1. Explore Task - all children spend time on a focus question and are encouraged to think of efficient and varied methods to solve the problem.
  2. Master - the teacher introduces and explains the new learning for the lesson and children complete a daily journal task.
  3. Guided Practice - After a clear model given by the the teacher, the children are given frequent, calm and purposeful opportunities to practise new skill through series of questions.
  4. Workbook - Children provided with an opportunity to independently apply skills in a range of questioning styles.

Curriculum Enhancements

From Year 2 upwards, outside of their maths lessons, children are encouraged to login to TT Rockstars to practise their rapid recall. Specific tables are selected by the class teacher and children practise these facts both in maths starters and at home. Having a secure and automatic recall of times tables is vitally important in meeting the endpoints of the National Curriculum.

In Reception and Year 1, children have access to Numbots - a game which encourages children to achieve understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction in order to progress from counting to calculating.
