Maths at Bierton CE Combined School

Teaching and Learning of Maths 

At Bierton C.E Combined School, we follow the small steps outlined by the White Rose Maths Hub and progression within each area of calculation follows programme of study in the 2014 National Curriculum. It includes written strategies, pedagogy and visual representations for each operation. As a school, we have adopted the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach and as a result mathematical understanding is developed through use of representations that are first of all concrete (e.g. Dienes, apparatus), then pictorial (e.g. array, place value counters, bar models) to then facilitate abstract working (e.g. columnar addition, long multiplication). It is important that conceptual understanding, supported by the use of representation, is secure for procedures and if at any point a pupil is struggling with a procedure, they should revert to concrete and/or pictorial resources and representations to solidify understanding.
