We want every child to enjoy maths and feel confident using it. Using the Maths No Problem approach, we help children develop a deep understanding of maths - not just the ability to find answers. We teach through a Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract approach, so children first use hands-on resources, then visual models, before working with numbers and symbols. Our aim is for all children to believe they can succeed in maths.
Maths is taught every day using the Maths No Problem scheme. Lessons are practical, visual and engaging, helping children understand new ideas step by step. Children use equipment, pictures and discussion to explore their thinking and solve problems together. Journalling helps children record and explain ideas in their own way. Every child also has access to Times Tables Rockstars to build fluency and confidence with number facts.
Children leave Loughborough as confident mathematicians who can explain their thinking, solve problems and apply their skills in different situations. They develop strong number skills, secure recall of key facts and a positive attitude towards learning. Maths is a priority for us - and the work to improve our outcomes is already well underway.
Talk positively about maths and encourage your child to explain how they worked something out. Look for everyday maths - shopping, cooking, telling the time - and practise number facts little and often.
