Maths

Mr R Holmes

Subject Leader

Our aim across Elston Hall Learning Trust (EHLT) is for all children to enjoy mathematics and have a secure and deep understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts and procedures when they leave us to go to secondary school. We want children to see the mathematics that surrounds them every day and enjoy developing vital life skills in this subject.

As a school we follow the 2014 National Curriculum and cover the subjects and topics as outlined in the statutory guidance.

Richard Holmes has curriculum responsibility for maths and he can be contacted if you require further information.

Pupil Voice

I love working with my partner in maths. We can work out problems together and sometimes I support my partner. I'm a big fan of Superheroes. I have improved my times tables by practising on TT Rockstars!

It was very informative and the amount of different activities was fantastic (the time flew by). I wish I learned this way when I was in school. The workshop has inspired me do a few activities on the weekend, Thank You!"

Bar Models

Bar models are pictorial representations of problems or concepts that can be used for any of the operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In word problems, they hold the huge benefit of helping children decide which operations to use or visualise problems. It is then up to the children to calculate the answer.
