Maths at Haslam Park Primary School

Maths Subject Leader - Miss E Fenwick

Why Power Maths?

At Haslam Park we use a scheme called Power Maths. Power Maths is a whole-class mastery programme designed to spark curiosity and excitement and help children nurture confidence in maths. At the heart of Power Maths is the belief that all children can achieve. It is built around a child-centered lesson design that models and embeds a growth mindset approach to maths. Children across school seem to be very enthusiastic about the scheme and are enjoying learning in this new fun and exciting way.

This is what our children have to say about the new scheme:

"I like the challenge and reflection, it makes me think about what I am doing and why." Ayaana (Y2)

"I like the characters and pictures inside the book, it makes learning more fun and exciting."  Jemal (Y3)

Knowledge Organisers 

Below are knowledge organisers that detail what each child should be able to achieve at the end of their year group. These documents also have career links in as we think it is important for children to understand that skills taught in school will be needed in later life when working and starting careers. 

Yearly Overviews

We use Power Maths and the White Rose Hub to carefully plan out objectives that meet the needs of our children in each class.

Resources

Children enjoy using the maths resources in Power Maths to support and consolidate their learning. Children are beginning to use new methods alongside resources to work out calculations. Below are some examples of children using base ten to add and subtract, counters  to understand place value, part whole models, cubes to consolidate number bonds to 10 as well as digit card to compare whole numbers.
