Maths at RPS

At Rotherhithe we aim to:

1. Develop a positive attitude towards Mathematics as an engaging, relevant and exciting subject.
2. Develop resilience and a growth mindset key for problem solving
3. Develop language and communication so that children can articulate and express their ideas using correct mathematical vocabulary
4. Develop mathematical understanding through systematic direct teaching of appropriate learning objectives in a cumulative curriculum
5. Develop conceptual understanding using the concrete-pictorial- abstract approach which represents ideas in multiple ways
6. Develop mathematical thinking and problem solving through exploration and high order questioning
7. Develop fluency through quick recall of number facts and teaching a range of efficient mental and written calculation strategies for all four operations.
