Building on their prior knowledge and experience, pupils at William Austin Infant School develop an awareness of the underlying patterns in number and shape which are a foundation for calculating methods, measurement and shape work in the future. The development of mathematical language is of fundamental importance.
In Foundation stage children are taught:
To develop mathematical language.
To recognise and recreate patterns.
To compare, sort, match, order and count objects and to sequence everyday objects and events.
To develop understanding of numbers as labels and for counting.
To use vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting.
To use mathematical ideas and methods to solve practical problems.
The main emphasis at Key Stage 1 is on:
Number and mental calculation strategies.
Learning to count in preparation for work on place value and working with large numbers.
Using the four operations of number in relative contexts and problem solving.
Recognise patterns and symmetry.
Developing skills in measuring and estimating.
