In Shiremoor Primary School we follow the statutory guidance from the National Primary Curriculum for Mathematics. We are working with the local authority guidance, using the North Tyneside progression maps, to support the planning and delivery of the subject in each year group. In addition to this, teachers have further support from the Focus Education Scheme of Work for Maths to help inform planning and resourcing.
The curriculum for Years 1, 3, 4 and 5 is available here.
Children in Years 2 and 6 also sit the National Curriculum SAT Tests towards the end of the academic year. A copy of the curriculum for these year groups is available here along with links to sample test papers and guidance on how each SAT test is administered.
Children are constantly assessed every lesson through the marking of work, observations, teacher and pupil feedback, children’s own self-assessment and through peer assessment. From Year 1 onwards, Children receive a personalised challenge question which either consolidates a child’s learning or extends their learning through reasoning and problem solving.
