Mathematics at Swiss Gardens
At Swiss Gardens, we believe maths is more than than just learning key skills and practising these in class – using and applying their knowledge is at the heart of our curriculum. Children are given the opportunity to work like a mathematician and make good progress during their time with us. Mathematics is an essential part of everyday life and as such it is essential we strive to enthuse and motivate our children to develop a love of the subject. We make maths fun and teach it in many practical ways, that allow the children to develop the number and problem solving skills that they can apply with confidence and independence within ‘real life’ situations.
Curriculum Statement For Maths
Schemes of Learning
At Swiss Gardens we follow the White Rose scheme of learning. Teachers may spend more of less time on a unit depending on the children's need. Teachers may also use other supporting materials when needed.
Maths in the Real World
We explore how maths is used in everyday life. Here are some of our examples of how children apply what they learn in maths.
"Recipes because it's important to measure the ingredients properly."
"Clock because it is using the 5 times table."
"An apple: I would use a apple for dividing because I can cut It up and share It with my family. I can cut It into halves then into quarters."
