St George's School, Colchester

Our mathematics curriculum at St George's School has been designed and sequenced so that the children build upon their knowledge through key concepts that are taught throughout the mathematics curriculum from EYFS to Year 6.

Our key concepts are as follows:

• Number and Place Value
• Addition and Subtraction
• Multiplication and Division
• Fractions, Percentages and Decimals
• Geometry
• Statistics
• Measure
• Algebra

At St Georges School, we follow a Maths Mastery approach to ensure all children develop a deep and lasting understanding of mathematical concepts. Our teaching is based on the White Rose Maths scheme, which supports a carefully sequenced and consistent progression through the curriculum.

We place a strong emphasis on arithmetic, reasoning, and times tables, helping children build fluency and confidence in their mathematical skills. To support this, we use Times Tables Rock Stars, a fun and engaging platform that helps pupils practise and improve their multiplication facts.

Children regularly use manipulatives to explore mathematical ideas in a hands-on, visual way. This concrete approach helps pupils make sense of abstract concepts and deepen their understanding.

Our aim is to make maths meaningful, enjoyable, and accessible for all learners, building strong foundations for future success

At St George's Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that the correct mathematical terminology is introduced and used right from the beginning of the learning journey. By using the correct vocabulary right from the beginning, we avoid placing any barriers between children and their understanding of mathematical concepts. In unison with this, we actively encourage children to discuss their ideas and methods towards tackling mathematical problems. When children learn to talk purposefully together about maths, barriers are broken down and they grow in confidence, skills and understanding. Building a healthy culture of vocabulary in our classrooms is key.
