Mathematics

Mathematics is a vital aspect of teaching and learning at St Martin’s Primary School.
We see numeracy as an essential life skill, so teaching focuses on using and applying skills learnt in real life examples and problems. We follow the National Curriculum and the National Numeracy Strategy covering using and applying maths, number and algebra, shape, space and measure and handling data.

Ways you can help your child with maths at home:

• Singing number songs with very young children
• Playing card games/ board games
• Noticing numbers in the world around us
• Practising reading, writing and ordering numbers together
• Shopping together, using money skills, working out change etc.
• Discussing measurements: taller, heavier, longer etc.
• Tell the time; analogue and digital
• Practising number bonds and x tables together
• Checking maths homework and providing support if possible
