Maths
The National Curriculum for Mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
- become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics
- reason mathematically
- can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a range of problems.
Maths in Reception
In Reception, every child follows the NCETM ‘Mastering Number’ programme. This programme aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children.
Maths in Years 1-6
Maths No Problem
At Eastwick Schools we use the Singapore approach to maths mastery. The programme we use in Years 1-6 is called ‘Maths No Problem‘.

Progression in Calculation Methods
Our Maths Leads have developed the following document to give parents details of the methods that children learn for the ‘four operations’ (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). This document will be beneficial in supporting children’s learning at home.
Fluency in Mathematics
Our THPT Maths Lead has developed the following document to give parents ideas to develop children’s mathematical fluency at home.
Times Tables Rock Stars
Times Tables Rock Stars is an exciting on-line initiative to enable children increase their times tables recall and accuracy. This is part of our strategy to build firm foundations in number skills to underpin maths mastery. Times Tables Rock Stars is used from Year 2 upwards.
NumBots
NumBots is an exciting, fun way to enable children to improve their mental addition and subtraction skills, and their knowledge and recall of number bonds. This is part of our strategy to build firm foundations in number skills to underpin maths mastery. NumBots is primarily designed for children in Year 1 and Year 2, but can be used in other year groups where children will benefit from it.
