Maths: Our School Vision

Our overall aim at Hall Green Primary School is to deliver a curriculum which has the personal growth of the individual at the heart of it. Our curriculum aims to enable each individual to develop key skills, interests and knowledge. Each curriculum area supports children in fulfilling our mission statement ‘Your chance to shine’. 

Our school aims/principles

At Hall Green Primary School, we aim to develop the principal aims outlined in the national curriculum (fluency in the fundamentals, reasoning mathematically and problem solving). We do this by providing a maths curriculum that promotes enjoyment of learning through concrete, pictorial and  abstract activities, exploration and discussion. We aim to develop confidence and competence with place value and number facts  to improve rapid recall and give pupils the opportunity to decision make and justify their methodology when problem solving.

Through the teaching of maths, we aim to provide a maths curriculum that cultivates children’s cultural capital and helps children to see that maths permeates the world around us. We hope to foster an approach that encourages them to dive deeper into their mathematical understanding and develop lifelong skills and a thirst for knowledge. They will develop a range of transferable skills such as patience, curiosity, persistence, analysis and much more. With these skills, children will understand that the anything is possible and the possibilities that lie ahead of them are endless.

White Rose
White Rose is the core framework we use to sequence maths across the year because it builds knowledge in small, carefully planned steps. Each block revisits and deepens previous learning so children develop secure understanding, not just surface‑level methods. This structured progression helps pupils make connections, reason confidently and apply skills independently in new contexts. Alongside White Rose, staff draw on other reliable, high‑quality resources to adapt lessons so they meet the needs of all learners. This flexible approach aims to ensure every child is challenged, supported and able to make progress in their mathematical learning.

Mastering Number
Mastering Number is taught four times a week to give children regular, focused practice that strengthens their understanding of number and deepens their confidence. These short, high‑impact sessions are to help pupils develop quick recall of number facts, recognise patterns and relationships, and build strong mental strategies they can apply across all areas of maths. Over time, children will become more fluent, flexible thinkers who can explain their reasoning and tackle new problems with greater independence. This consistent approach ensures that every child secures the essential building blocks needed for future mathematical success.
