Number Day 2025
For Number Day this year, all the children in school dressed up as something Mathematical. We are sure you will agree that the costumes were brilliant! Throughout the morning, all the children completed number activities in their classrooms and had the opportunity to play different carnival style games in the hall (all with a number theme of course). The children thoroughly enjoyed all the activities. Thank you for all the donations received, which will be sent to the NSPCC.

Intent
In Maths it is our intent to develop every child’s confidence, resilience and independence in Mathematics by;
- Using a carefully structured Mastery Approach to ensure every child is excited and challenged.
- Encouraging children to have a go and be curious to help them grow in confidence and independence and build their resilience.
At Howick C of E Primary School we are implementing a Mastery approach to Mathematics lessons whereby children achieve deep and sustainable learning with the ability to build upon something that has already been mastered. This means spending greater time going into depth about concepts using a small steps approach to secure knowledge, fluency and understanding. We believe that all children can be successful at mathematics and it is our duty to ensure that our pupils have a deeper understanding of the content and skills and that they develop resilience and perseverance when reasoning and solving problems.
Our aim is to equip all pupils with the skills and confidence to solve a range of problems through fluency with numbers and mathematical reasoning. Children are encouraged to see the mathematics that surrounds them every day and enjoy developing vital life skills in this subject.
We are confident that learning at a steadier and deeper pace, benefits all children. This ensures no child is left behind as well as providing challenges to stretch and deepen children who grasp content quickly.
We focus on all children achieving what is expected for their curricular age and not beyond it. Evidence shows that all children need to develop deeper understanding of concepts and be able to apply their understanding to a range of situations and creatively solve problems. With this in mind, we actively ensure that children have many opportunities to apply their math’s skills across a range of subjects.
We provide swift intervention as needed on a daily basis to enable pupils to keep up and provide additional time, experiences and resources to ensure pupils are able to access the learning of their peers.
