Maths
At Grove House Primary School, every pupil is a mathematician. Our curriculum ensures every pupil from EYFS to Year 6 to enjoy mathematics, appreciate the beauty and creativity of the subject and feel empowered to succeed. We see the importance of preparing all our pupils for mathematics in the real world and, as such, build it into all aspects of school life at Grove House.
The curriculum we offer is bespoke to suit the needs of our pupils and our community but is built upon the principles of Teaching for Mastery and adapted from the White Rose Maths Scheme of Learning.
To achieve our vision, you can expect to see: fluency, reasoning and problem-solving opportunities for all pupils in all topics of mathematics; a use of concrete, pictorial and abstract (CPA) representations.
As we recognise that arithmetical proficiency and number sense are key foundations for success in mathematics from EYFS to Year 6, teachers build in daily focus in this area to develop automaticity of number facts as well as exploring opportunities for children to develop their accuracy, efficiency and flexibility to become truly fluent in mathematics. Children take part in daily 15-minute, engaging sessions that use choral oracy, resources and different representations.
Multiplication Facts / Timetables
Recalling multiplication facts with accuracy is very important, especially as children move through school. At Grove House we use Timetables Rock Stars to support children learning their multiplication facts.
There’s always time to play maths games at home. Follow the links below to have a go!

Some parents were asking for support with how maths is taught in different year groups. The link below will give you access to free workbooks that can be used throughout the year. They give examples of methods used as well, so that you know you are supporting them in the right way.
