Welcome to Maths

At Brunel, we intend to make maths learning meaningful and applicable. We believe that the mastery approach we use gives pupils deeper understanding and makes maths more enjoyable. We believe that academic success is a by-product of this approach. The key principles of conceptual understanding, language and communication, and mathematical thinking come together to give children the ability to apply these skills to solve problems, both now and in the future. Mathematical thinking permeates all avenues of life: this approach prepares children for the next phase in their education and ultimately, the world of work.

Our curriculum uses Ark’s Maths Mastery, a fully resourced programme with regular opportunities for PD, using online tutorials and regular network meetings. Curriculum design means children revisit key learning regularly, helping them embed learning. In-built progression ensures that children have the prior knowledge that allows them to be successful. Resources for daily lessons allow teachers to focus on the mathematical thinking and less on time-consuming resource creation. This enables them to focus on making learning meaningful and challenging for all, providing scaffold and challenge. A wealth of additional resources support the daily maths lessons, including regular maths meetings to revisit areas of study and help children to commit key understanding and facts to long-term memory.
