Taken from the National Curriculum, our aim at Bungay Primary is to ensure that all children become fluent, can reason and explain mathematically and are able to solve problems, as well as to foster an enthusiasm and fascination about Maths.

We use White Rose to underpin the Mastery pedagogy in Maths at Bungay Primary. We are well supported by the Angles Maths Hub and work closely together with other Asset schools. 

Our focus is always on creating numerical fluent children who know their arithmetic skills and use them to observe and play with patterns and logic.  Our children are taught the skills of the Five Big Ideas of Mastery and they are expected in all lessons to use our acronym REAL - to Read problems through, Examine the problems, patterns and theory and Act on the equations that they create, Looking back and checking their work thoroughly using inverses.  

The children work with practical resources using all senses to help them learn their numbers. They are also encouraged to subitise from a very young age.

Our recent Maths coffee morning explained the underpinnings of skills needed throughout the year groups.  Below are the documents from that session. 

Maths Stay and Play sessions (Nursery-Year 2) and Maths Activity Cafes (Years 3-6) help Parents/Carers to see these skills being taught and how the children perform in lessons. We look forward to seeing you at our next one!

Year 4 Multiplication Screening 

Do you have a child in Year 4? If so, they will sit a multiplication screening test at the end of the year. The government has produced a Parent guide for you that should answer any questions you have. You can find this below:
