Maths

Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment.

A high-quality mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

At Lytham C of E, we use the Lancashire's Red Rose Mastery Maths scheme to support planning and teaching of maths throughout school. Red Rose Mastery Maths is a comprehensive scheme providing full coverage of the National Curriculum and Early Years Framework, building progressively from EYFS to Year 6. Built on the NCETM’s Five Big Ideas of Teaching for Mastery, the core ethos of the scheme is to develop children's mathematical understanding through carefully crafted modelling and questioning and children actively thinking and learning. 

Red Rose Mastery Maths uses a spiral curriculum approach which reduces cognitive load, supports retention and enables children to make connections across the different strands of mathematics. Objectives are broken down into smaller steps of progression and revisited and built on throughout the year.
