“If you don’t learn maths, you won’t know anything. When you are an adult, you need the knowledge of maths, if you are a builder or shopkeeper.”

Karun (3PB)

“I like maths because I like working out calculations and it’s fun. I like explaining and proving my answers. Before I used to write brief answers, now I explain more.”

Aizah (4B)

“One of my favourite things in maths is multiplication. It is fun working out the answer to see if it’s correct or not. When I make a mistake, I like to figure out the actual answer. Year 4 will help me when I go to year 5.”

Samit (5S)

“I like the variety of problems in maths, like puzzles where you have clues to get the answer. I also like using the bus stop method in division. Maths will help you to get a job.”

Afiya (6O)

“I enjoy the more challenging questions in maths, the ones which require an explanation. Recently we have been learning about angles, there’s a lot to learn. I’ve learnt how to use a protractor and calculate angles. I think the maths I learn in year 6 will prepare me for year 7

The times table programme is implemented in year 3. By the end of year 4 children should know all their times tables up to 12 x 12. On a daily basis, pupils work through booklets which test their multiplication and the related division facts. In the summer term of year 4, children sit the Multiplication Times Table Check (MTC) to assess their knowledge and see if they have met the expected standard.

Times Tables Rock Stars is a maths learning platform used to put the fun into learning and recalling the times tables. Pupils have really enjoyed the fun and interactive games and it has really helped to boost their confidence. 

Humayera (4U)

“When I first did my times tables, I felt nervous because I didn’t know many. Since practising every day, I have improved a lot. I never used to know my 8 & 9 times tables, now I do. I practised at school and at home.

I so was so excited to use TTRS. I enjoyed it and it helped me to learn my tables in a fun way. There lots of fun activities and you can play against your class mates!”

Maths interventions are put in place to support those pupils who need to close gaps in their learning. Pupils develop number confidence and fluency through repeated maths practice.

Year 2 pupil

“I can read larger numbers now. I know about odd and even numbers”.

Year 2 pupil

“I don’t need to count the dots now, I just know the number. I use the number line as well.”

Year 3 pupil

“It has helped me because when I go back into class, I know all the answers. I now know all the addition & subtraction facts of 10!”

Parent workshops run throughout the year and aim to inform parents on how maths is taught at Downshall and how to support their child at home.

In early years and KS1, the national DfE ‘Mastering Number Programme’ is in its second year. The programme aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from reception through to year 1 and 2. It involves children using a small abacus-like piece of equipment called a Rekenrek which helps to develop fluency and flexibility with number facts which in turn supports pupil’s mental calculations.

“When I first did my times tables, I felt nervous because I didn’t know many. Since practising every day, I have improved a lot. I never used to know my 8 & 9 times tables, now I do. I practised at school and at home.

“If you don’t learn maths, you won’t know anything. When you are an adult, you need the knowledge of maths, if you are a builder or shopkeeper.”

Karun (3PB)

“I like maths because I like working out calculations and it’s fun. I like explaining and proving my answers. Before I used to write brief answers, now I explain more.”

Aizah (4B)

“One of my favourite things in maths is multiplication. It is fun working out the answer to see if it’s correct or not. When I make a mistake, I like to figure out the actual answer. Year 4 will help me when I go to year 5.”

Samit (5S)

“I like the variety of problems in maths, like puzzles where you have clues to get the answer. I also like using the bus stop method in division. Maths will help you to get a job.”

Afiya (6O)

“I enjoy the more challenging questions in maths, the ones which require an explanation. Recently we have been learning about angles, there’s a lot to learn. I’ve learnt how to use a protractor and calculate angles. I think the maths I learn in year 6 will prepare me for year 7

In early years and KS1, the national DfE ‘Mastering Number Programme’ is in its second year. The programme aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from reception through to year 1 and 2. It involves children using a small abacus-like piece of equipment called a Rekenrek which helps to develop fluency and flexibility with number facts which in turn supports pupil’s mental calculations.

“I use it to solve maths problems. It helps me to learn my number bonds.”

5+5=10, 7+3=10, I need to add 6 to 4 to make 10.

Rares (2N)

“It helps me with doubles and halves. Double 8 is 16.”

The times table programme is implemented in year 3. By the end of year 4 children should know all their times tables up to 12 x 12. On a daily basis, pupils work through booklets which test their multiplication and the related division facts. In the summer term of year 4, children sit the Multiplication Times Table Check (MTC) to assess their knowledge and see if they have met the expected standard.
