Maisie, Isaac, Teddy H and Theo represented Worsthorne School in a maths challenge at Unity College. They were up against five other Burnley schools, competing in various maths challenges including logic problems, number crossword, number problems and ending with an extremely difficult challenge. The children rose to the challenge and secured a place in the final at Turf Moor in May. Well done!
To provide a Mathematics curriculum which caters for the needs of all children. It will enable children to build on and acquire a deep, long-term, secure understanding of skills that are essential in life.
Mathematics
Number ELG
Children at the expected level of development will:
– Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of each number; Subitise (recognise quantities without counting) up to 5;
– Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids) number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to 10, including double facts.
Numerical Patterns ELG
Children at the expected level of development will:
Verbally count beyond 20, recognising the pattern of the counting system;
– Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity;
– Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally.
Key Stage One and Two Mathematics Club
In the Spring Term, The children from Year 1 and 2 and visited Mrs O’Brien’s classroom for 4 weeks each class. They looked at how maths is all around us and learned, most importantly, that maths is fun!
Year 1 – we learned about time, made our own clocks, counted in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s on hopscotch and created a super long shape picture whist discussing the names, size, plus how many corners and edges of each shape.
Year 2 – The children were very interested in some of the maths that Year 5 were learning: Fractions. So, why not start them early with it! Over a few weeks, they worked on fractions of shapes and then fractions of numbers. They were naturals!
