CHPA Curriculum Aims:
Implementation
Maths is an integral part of everyday life, which is why CHPA is devoted to the consistent teaching of a high-quality, engaging Maths curriculum. We teach the NCETM project ‘Mastering Number at Reception and KS1. This project aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention is given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future. Mastering Number is taught four times a week in Reception and is taught outside of the Maths lesson in KS1 three times a week for 15 minutes as an additional lesson to Power Maths.
We also teach mastery maths through the DFE approved scheme ‘Power Maths’ in KS1 and KS2. Through a consistent approach, all staff are aware of the content of a high quality maths lesson and provide this every day. Pupils are exposed to real life problems through a discovery approach allowing pupils to contextualise the problems they encounter. Throughout lessons, pupils use concrete manipulatives to embed the concrete, pictorial and abstract approach to maths. Through the use of mathematical talk, pupils explore together and learn through collaboration with both peers and teachers. Our curriculum builds upon small steps of learning to ensure that pupils have a solid, secure understanding of topics taught. Independent learning allows pupils to develop fluency and begin to deepen their understanding. Topics follow a cycle by where we start a topic using pre-learning check to assess taught skills and to allow adaptation to meet the requirements of our pupils. Following this, lessons are taught in small steps which build upon each other. Two weeks prior to finishing the unit, pupils then sit an end of unit check to assess knowledge that has been retained. When a pupil is not secure in the concept, impact interventions are used to practise the skills. Where whole class support is needed, a strengthening lesson is taught. If a pupil shows a higher level of understanding, they then access deepening activities to further their knowledge. Our curriculum follows a long term plan to ensure that mastery can be achieved over time. Key skills and knowledge are mapped across CHPA to ensure clear progression including key concepts and vocabulary.
Impact
Pupils develop secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense and over time will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number as a result of following the Mastering Number in Reception and KS1 project. Our pupils are encouraged to use ‘stem sentences’ to support them ‘speaking like a mathematician’ to develop oracy skills and their use of mathematical vocabulary.
Through Power Maths, pupils develop a ‘can do’ attitude by developing a growth mindset when they reach a challenge. During discovery sections of learning, pupils are encouraged to experiment with a variety of methods and are encouraged to see mistakes as part of their learning. Our pupils are encouraged to ‘speak like a mathematician’ to ensure the accurate use of mathematical vocabulary. Ongoing assessment for learning inform teaching and intervention to allow all children to achieve. Through consistency in the approach, pupils are able to anticipate their learning. High quality maths lessons are achieved through a consistent approach to our teaching method.

Application of this learning is provided through a mixture of adult led and child- initiated activities both inside and outside of the classroom through continuous provision, enhancements and challenges in order to embed mathematical knowledge. Mastering Number is taught four times a week in Reception with SSM taught once a week. Mastering Number is taught outside of the Maths lesson in KS1 three times a week for 15 minutes as an additional lesson to Power Maths.

Maths Mastery LTP
At CHPA our mathematics curriculum is supported by a Department for Education (DfE) recommended scheme of work, Power Maths, which ensures that the key concepts and areas of mathematics are covered. Work is organised into units which have been closely aligned with the NCETM’s ‘Ready to Progress Criteria’ which highlights the intended learning goals for the end of each year. High quality learning is achieved through interactive teaching tools, rich, quality textbooks and lesson materials. As teachers, we ensure that this is consistently delivered, so that your child’s knowledge grows over time and they are able to apply maths successfully to real life situations.

At CHPA, we celebrate Maths throughout the year with a focused day, week or month to further raise the profile of Maths. These celebrations are launched through a whole school assembly approach and then activities are carried out and completed in individual classes as well as through mixing classes and key stages. Activities are all aimed to be practical, highly engaging, challenging and most of all fun!
This academic year 2024/25 we will be celebrating:
Good luck and enjoy your maths!
By the end of Key Stage 2, we strive to ensure that our pupils are fluent in the fundamentals of Mathematics with a conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. Our pupils have the skills to solve problems by applying their Mathematics to a variety of situations with increasing sophistication, including in unfamiliar contexts and to model real-life scenarios. Further to this, pupils will be able to reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry and develop and present a justification, argument or proof using mathematical language. These skills will be as a result of our teaching of, and curriculum for Mathematics, which is designed to prepare pupils for their future in and outside of education so that they can become successful in whatever they pursue by leaving our academy by being at least at the expected standard for their age.
Through our curriculum for Mathematics, we ensure that pupils are well-equipped for life in modern Britain. Through purposeful subject linkage, such as developing understanding of fractions and percentages through voting systems, we aim for our pupils develop an excellent understanding of democracy, the rule of law, responsibility and liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.
Further to this, our curriculum for Mathematics is also driven by SMSC development and this can be exemplified in the following ways;
