Intent 

Our intent at Lyng Primary, is to develop confidence, competence and a deep understanding in Maths for all pupils. We strive to create a culture that produces strong, secure learning with real progress. At Lyng, we take the mastery approach to Maths teaching by following the White Rose Maths motto of ‘Everyone Can Do Maths: Everyone Can!’ and the concept of I haven’t got it……….YET! We aim to give all children the right guidance, support and resources so that they can become confident and competent mathematicians. 

By embedding this approach across school, we are creating engaged, resilient and skilled mathmaticians who thrive on the sense of a challenge. At Lyng, we recognise the importance of Maths in everyday life and how children need to understand how and when to use maths in the real world. Children regularly have the opportunity to take their maths learning outside the classroom (and school) to implement their skills into the world around them. This helps significantly when tackling number problems and maths concepts as well as contributing to becoming independent thinkers, reasoners and problem solvers. 

LOtC Maths

Children look forward to and enjoy taking their maths learning outside especially when it comes to more practical learning like measures, estimation and time.

'I like measuring objects with my ruler and then I like it when we go outside and estimate lengths of objects in our playground. Then we can use a metre stick to find the answer. One of the flower beds is 1m 20 cms long.' Year 3 pupil

'I love running round looking for hidden equations. I then have to answer them with my partner. If we are not sure we can use the commutive law to help us.'  Year 3 pupil
