Our Intent

Our maths curriculum at Brookland Junior School aims to teach pupils how to solve a range of mathematical problems by applying their arithmetic, reasoning and problem-solving skills. We intend to encourage our learners to become fluent in mathematical concepts and develop confidence in solving increasingly complex problems over time, where children can apply their knowledge and skills rapidly and accurately. Our curriculum covers a wide range of concepts, including number sense, calculations, measurement, geometry, statistics, and algebra.

We follow the ‘White Rose’ structure to plan our units but also supplement, where necessary, from a range of resources to allow a breadth of learning in different styles.

By using this framework, we provide students with a structured and coherent mathematical education aligned with national standards. Our aim is to build a strong foundation in maths, enhance problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and mathematical fluency.

Our CPA (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract) approach is designed to allow access for all learners so that they can develop the necessary skills to answer maths questions by beginning with physical resources, moving to pictorial representations and reaching the abstract stage rapidly.
