The Teaching of Maths at Parson Cross

At Parson Cross, we strive to teach children to become competent mathematicians. As part of our maths curriculum, we follow the White Rose Maths schemes of learning, based on ‘small steps’ progression and yearly frameworks, which provide the foundation for secure learning, confidence and competence in mathematics.

White Rose Math is a transformational approach to maths teaching inspired by global maths experts.

The White Rose Maths positive approach focuses on reinforcing number competency whilst providing opportunities to build reasoning and problem solving into each lesson and encourages each student to build confidence and resilience to achieve in maths.

Its inclusive approach is based on the use of concrete objects (counters, snap cubes, coloured rods), pictorial representations and abstract methods to help pupils develop a secure, long-lasting and adaptable understanding of mathematics.
