Maths

At Hoo we want our students to have a love of numeracy, creating an excitement and enthusiasm for the subject.

We believe it is important that all children share their mathematical thinking, as it will develop their confidence within the subject.   We are building our children’s abilities to be able to use the skills from lessons, and giving the children the chance to use these in all areas of the curriculum. Where possible, we use real life circumstances in order to develop their problem solving skills so that children are able to apply this in their own lives.

Our Maths Mission is to give every child confidence in maths so that pupils develop mathematical fluency, reasoning and a love of number!

In the maths curriculum there is a real importance placed on the ‘foundations’ of mathematics; knowing times tables, number bonds, being able to use and calculate with decimals and large numbers (going into millions). It is important that children not only know key facts (e.g. x tables to 12 x 12 and number bonds) but are able to recall them very quickly and accurately. In school, we support the children's learning of times tables through chanting, rapid recall of facts and mini-quizzes; in addition to this we use an online times tables app called 'Time Tables Rock Stars', which the children can also engage with at home. We have weekly celebrations for children who are making progress with their times tables. Teachers are able to monitor which times tables need to be focused on and can give additional support where needed. 

In year 4, the expectation is that children will be secure in their times tables up to 12 x 12. At the end of year, they will complete the statutory assessment for times table.
