How we teach maths at Yoxall St Peter's

We follow the White Rose scheme of work which enables us to teach the full curriculum using a Mastery approach in mixed age classes. The calculation policies give you examples of all the different strategies the children will be taught for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They then use these strategies to solve problems and give reasons to explain the answers they have decided upon.
