Mathematics

Within Little Champions, there is a daily session of Mathematics. There are also at least four daily focus Maths activities per week where skills and understanding are assessed on Core and Supplementary bands. The next steps are identified, and an understanding is developed. An emphasis is put on mathematical vocabulary, through song and familiarising children with Core and Supplementary units such as, the basic 2D shapes, numbers to 20 and counting objects accurately.

Within each subject studied in Little Champions lessons are very much planned around a student’s interests. This makes for a more personalised and individualised curriculum for each student. High adult support ratio within primary means that students can follow their own tailored programme that encompasses support for communication, sensory and behaviour needs within it.

Through careful planning and preparation, we aim to ensure that throughout the school children are given opportunities for:

•  Practical activities and mathematical games
•  Problem solving
•  Individual, group and whole class discussions and activities
•  Open and closed tasks
