Maths meetings are lively and engaging sessions that aim to address misconceptions, support prior learning and practice fluency.

Arithmetic

15-minute session

Arithmetic sessions are taught daily from Year 1 - Year 6 to develop fluency and conceptual understanding. Children are encouraged to explain their answer and are challenged to think of an alternative method to find the answer.

All lessons (Reception - Year 6) follow a six-part structure that provides fluency in the fundamentals of mathematics, encourages children to reason mathematical and solve problems by applying their knowledge of mathematical concepts. Manipulatives and pictorial representations are used throughout the lesson to support children’s learning. Learning is evidenced in their independent task at the end of each lesson.

All children are provided with a login (TTRS - KS2 and Numbots KS1). These online resources help the children to access maths at their level in a fun and interactive way. We encourage children to complete this at home. Children battle against each other each week to gain a prize in our celebration assembly.
