Battle and Langton Mathematics Curriculum
We have followed a scheme called ESSENTIALmaths since September of 2022 which has significantly changed the way we teach maths here at Battle and Langton.
ESSENTIALmaths is written as a spiral curriculum in which learning is built upon step by step, sequence by sequence and year on year. It is aspirational and ensures progression and coverage through the primary phase.
Sequences promote whole class teaching rather than streaming or ability groups – differentiation is implicit throughout. It includes access, modelled examples of resource and pictorial use, intelligent practice, scaffolded practice examples, small step progression and highlighted opportunities for pupils to explore concepts at greater depth.
Week to week progression is for guidance only, some sequences will take longer than others depending upon the prior learning security of the children
For further information about the curriculum please speak to your child's teacher or make an appointment to see Mr Alexander
