Maths Curriculum 

At The Duston School, we use the White Rose Maths Scheme, which offers a framework to teach the Mathematics Programme of Study as laid out by the National Curriculum and the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.  

From the early years, we develop a positive attitude towards Mathematics and proficiency in Mathematical concepts and skills which is vital for engaging successfully with the real world. We provide a Mathematics curriculum that balances acquiring rapid fluency alongside opportunities to apply reasoning skills in various problem-solving contexts. Each classroom environment is set up to enable children to build independence in their mathematical learning, from up-to-date working walls, carefully chosen scaffolds and accessible resources.  

The aim of our mathematics curriculum is to ensure that all children: 

• become fluent in the fundamentals of Mathematics 

• frequently practice increasingly complex problems over time, ensuring that children can apply their knowledge across a range of problem-solving questions 

• reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry and developing an argument or justification 

• use correct Mathematical vocabulary confidently and in context 

• talk positively and knowledgeably about their Mathematical learning
