Here at Oxley, all classes will be taught mastery: adopting small steps, variance, and using lots of manipulatives and representations to enable all children of all abilities to achieve their highest potential.
As we promote reasoning skills and maths talk as part of the everyday lesson; children will use puzzles and investigations to stretch their learning as well as grow their mathematical vocabulary.
Our children will be able to rely on a consistency of approach between classes, with plenty of retrieval practice and low stakes quizzes to improve their fluency and embed their understanding of the maths they are learning. With this approach, the children at Oxley will flourish in maths and have the skills they need for further academia and for everyday life. Children will feel confident in their maths abilities and be able to apply their knowledge and use what they know.
