Maths
At Wellesley we aim to encourage our children to have a positive attitude towards mathematics, enjoying the fun and mental challenge it brings. We believe that allowing our pupils to develop their knowldge and understanding of mathematics through practical actviity, exploration and discussion gives them a secure start in using the number system more confidently. We have carefully planned a progression of methods which are taught from Reception to Year 6 (please see our calculation policy) that covers all National Curriculum objectives. We also give children opportunities to explore problem solving activities that embed methods taught in all areas of mathematics. We encourage children to learn the key facts early as this underpins all our mathematics work, with this in mind we encourage extra learning of times tables throughout the school through whole school/home times tables initiatives.
