Maths

“Mathematics is, in its own way, the poetry of logical ideas.” Albert Einstein.

At The Pochin School we use the White Rose Scheme of work to support the teaching of maths.  This scheme is rooted in research on the teaching for mastery approach and provides a comprehensive progression for pupils in our school.

We use an exciting range of teaching methods and activities to move children forward in their mathematical thinking. Through the use of practical apparatus, ICT, questioning and games the children develop a secure mathematical understanding to build on as they progress throughout the school.
