Maths MasteryAt Glebe we teach pupils to master the skill of mathematics. Mastery means having a secure understanding of mathematical concepts and processes, combined with a genuine procedural fluency. A child who has mastered a particular skill is able to apply their understanding and solve different types of problems, including where the skill is either embedded in a different context, or where a choice of method has to be made. |
Calculation PolicyWe have adopted a calculation policy that introduces key concepts using a concrete, pictorial, abstract approach. Pupils can progress through the concepts at their own pace. |
