At Thorn Primary we follow a CPA (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) approach supported by the Lancashire Red Rose planning materials.
Lancashire Red Rose Sequences of Learning:
NCETM Mastering Number at EYFS and KS1
Our EYFS and KS1 pupils access additional 'Mastering Number' sessions outside of their maths lesson to ensure help strengthen the understanding of early maths concepts. They work hard to build number fluency and manipulation.
Y4 Multiplication Tables Check
Our year 3 and 4 pupils work hard to learn their multiplication facts so that they can work efficiently, recalling facts quickly to support their calculations. They work hard using times tables booklets to learn sound patterns, they recognise and learn relationships on counting sticks and practise quick recall of facts on the 'Purple Mash MTC Simulator' in preparation of the statutory Y4 Multiplication Tables Check.
