We follow a mastery approach to Maths, along with the other ASSET schools. Children learn about mathematical concepts by using concrete, pictorial and abstract methods, aiming to deepen their understanding through varied fluency, problem solving and reasoning activities.
Concrete methods can include resources such as base ten, place value counters, multi-link cubes, bead strings, counters, cuisenaire rods and money, giving children the change to explore their Maths understanding practically, whether in Reception or Year 6.
Pictorial methods are picture representations, such as bar models, part-whole drawings and number lines.
