At Robert Piggott CE Schools, development of mathematical skills are seen as an opportunity to promote enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning through practical activity, exploration and discussion.    

The curriculum is mapped out in long-term and medium-term plans to ensure coverage of units and give the children strong foundations in which they can continue to build their understanding of mathematical concepts and strategies that they will apply to the real world. Pedagogical approaches include the use of concrete resources that the children are able to manipulate in a 'hands on' way to further secure their learning before moving on to pictorial and abstract representations.

Lessons are planned collaboratively with teachers using 'Oak Academy', ensuring that concepts are regularly revisited with the aim to gain deeper conceptual understanding and the children being able to articulate their reasoning and problem solving skills when answering questions.
