At Cross in Hand, children have a real enjoyment for learning maths across the school. We understand the importance of mathematics in everyday life and on children gaining a secure understanding of mathematical concepts. Throughout all stages of their development, this is established through the delivery of a mastery curriculum. With a clear calculations policy, which is rooted in a Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract (CPA) approach, this ensures continuity and progression throughout the school. Using visual aids, fluency in written methods and mental calculation techniques also helps children to develop secure problem solving strategies.
