How we teach Maths:

Maths is taught every day at Bolton Parish Church
School. We use a variety of scheme resources to

develop children’s skills in number, shape,

measures and data handling.

Children are taught to use a variety of formal written methods for cal-

culations as well as developing mental strategies.

Children will use practical resources all through school as well as learn-

ing how to record their work.

There is a focus on learning multiplication tables from year 1 and there
is an expectation that most children will know all of the times tables

up to 12x12 by the end of year 4.

Children are encouraged to apply their mathematical skills in a variety
of different contexts and there is a whole school focus on problem

solving (reasoning).

How we teach Topic

At Bolton Parish Church CE School we design our topic curriculum to
meet the needs of the History, Geography, Art and Design Technology

requirements of the National Curriculum. Topics may focus on one of
these subjects of a combination of them all. Science, RE and computing

are taught as individual subjects. These topics are designed to be crea-
tive and will develop investigative and research skills as well as develop-

ing subject knowledge. Opportunities are also provided to develop

reading, writing and maths skills through these subjects.
