--- title: "Mathematics" url: "https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/mathematics" school: "Streethay Primary School" --- # Mathematics - Mathematics Overview - Mathematics Curriculum - Mathematics at Streethay At Streethay Primary School, we **nurture** and **inspire** mathematically thinking children, **preparing** them to thrive in a mathematical world with confidence, resilience and independence. Our ambitious, progressive and interconnected curriculum strives for **all learners** to succeed and make progress from their starting points. I intend for children to achieve maths mastery by having: An understanding of important concepts Through excellent modelling and a well-thought-out teaching journey, teachers support children in gaining the knowledge required to understand key, important concepts that underpin maths learning. With smaller steps identified for SEND learners. We intend to create a vocabulary rich environment, where talk for maths is a key learning tool for all children. Pre-teaching key vocabulary is a driver for pupil understanding and develops the confidence pf pupils to explain mathematically. The ability to make connections All children will have opportunities to identify patterns or connections in their maths; they can use this to predict and reason, and to also develop their own patterns or links within and across maths topics, or other subject areas. The ability to use, apply and problem solve We intend that all children are given opportunities to use and apply knowledge and skills gained, regardless of ability. All pupils should solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and nonroutine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions. A fluent recall of number facts We intend for all pupils to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. The ability to reason and generalise. We intend for all pupils to reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language. Most importantly to us at Streethay, we intend for **all** children to have a love and passion for the subject of mathematics. ### Maths Curriculum Statement [![](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/maths-curriculum-statement/Mathematics.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/images/gallery/maths-curriculum-statement/Mathematics.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/maths-subject-on-a-page/Mathematics2.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/images/gallery/maths-subject-on-a-page/Mathematics2.jpg) ### Maths Curriculum Overview Reception Term 1 Maths Curriculum Overview 452 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/term-1-guidance-overview.pdf) Reception Term 2 Maths Curriculum Overview 453 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/term-2-guidance-overview.pdf) Reception Term 3 Maths Curriculum Overview 553 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/term-3-guidance-overview.pdf) Year 1 Maths Curriculum Overview 403 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Year_1_MNP_Scheme_of_Work.pdf) Year 2 Curriculum Overview 353 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Year_2_MNP_Scheme_of_Work.pdf) Year 3 Maths Curriculum Overview 351 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Year_3_MNP_Scheme_of_Work.pdf) Year 4 Maths Curriculum Overview 362 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Year_4_MNP_Scheme_of_Work.pdf) Year 5 Maths Curriculum Overview 352 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Year_5_MNP_Scheme_of_Work.pdf) Year 6 Maths Curriculum Overview 405 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/year-6-scheme-of-work.pdf) ### Curriculum Progression in Mathematics Curriculum Progression in Mathematics 381 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Progression_in_Maths_Streethay.pdf) **Calculation Policies** At Streethay, we know that it is important for pupils to be secure in formal methods for each of the four operations, as this underpins learning across many other topics.

Both studies highlight the importance of children regularly given time to revisit past learning, as well as continual practise of basic skills. This is why all children from KS1 complete daily Fluent In Five activities, which gives them opportunity to recall and practise key arithmetic knowledge. Children in EYFS and KS1, also have the opportunity to develop fluency with basic number facts, within daily Mastering Number. These are all in addition to their daily mathematics lessons. ### Fluent In 5 Progression Guide to Fluent in Five 68 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Your_Guide_to_Fluent_in_Five.pdf) Fluent in Five Year 1 104 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Fluent_in_Five_-_Progression_in_Objectives_Doc_-_Year_1.pdf) Fluent in Five Year 2 112 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/FLUENT-1(2).PDF) Fluent in Five Year 3 81 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/FLUENT-1(1).PDF) Fluent in Five Year 4 90 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Fluent_in_Five_-_Progression_in_Objectives_Doc_-_Year_4.pdf) Fluent in Five Year 5 89 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Progression_in_Objectives_Document_-_Year_5_(2).pdf) Fluent in Five Year 6 96 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Progression_in_Objectives_Document_-_Year_6.pdf) ### Mastering Number Fluency Mastering Number Year 2 Overview 117 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/mastering-number-year-2-overview.pdf) Mastering Number Year 1 Overview 116 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/mastering-number-year-1-overview(1).pdf) Mastering Number Reception Overview 115 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/mastering-number-reception-overview.pdf) **RUCSAC Problem Solving in Maths** At Streethay, we recognise that problem solving is an integral part of our daily lives. Most days we are presented with problems, in varying contexts, that we must find a solution to in order to be successful. To prepare our children for real life, problem solving is an important part of our curriculum, particularly within Maths. At the start of each lesson, our pupils are provided with a problem, in a real-life content, to hook them into their learning. In their independent learning, pupils are given frequent opportunities to solve a range of problems using the CPA (Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract) approach to help them. Whilst we are providing our children with frequent opportunities to problem solve, we have found that some children in the past have struggled to formulate an efficient strategy to help them be successful. Therefore, to help our children, we have introduced a new approach to problem solving throughout the school; this forms part of our school development plan this year in Maths. It is called the RUCSAC method. Whenever they are faced with a problem, we encourage our children to use the strategy as follows: ### RUCSAC [![](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rucsac/RUCSAC.png)](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/images/gallery/rucsac/RUCSAC.png) ### Related Blog Posts [2026-04-17-14-44-team-hedgehogs-are-mathematicians](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-04-17-14-44-team-hedgehogs-are-mathematicians)17 April 2026 #### [Team Hedgehogs are Mathematicians](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-04-17-14-44-team-hedgehogs-are-mathematicians) [2026-03-26-14-50-maths-in-rabbits](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-03-26-14-50-maths-in-rabbits)26 March 2026 #### [Maths in Rabbits!](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-03-26-14-50-maths-in-rabbits) [2026-03-18-15-20-maths-in-team-starlings](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-03-18-15-20-maths-in-team-starlings)18 March 2026 #### [Maths in Team Starlings ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-03-18-15-20-maths-in-team-starlings) [View All Posts](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/index/tag:maths) ### Education - [Our Curriculum](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/our-curriculum) - [Streethay Blogs](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog) - [Early Years ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/early-years-foundation-stage) - [Literacy and Language ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/writing) - [STEM](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/our-subjects/science) - [Science](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/our-subjects/science) - [Design Technology ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/our-subjects/design-technology) - [Mathematics ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/mathematics) - [Computing](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/our-subjects/computing) - [Humanities ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/our-subjects/history) - [Creative Arts ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/creative-arts/art-design) - [Personal Development ](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/personal-development/physical-education) - [English](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/education/writing) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2418.3202510376886!2d-1.800952023240376!3d52.69031172360623!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487a0711bf9ea9e3%3A0x5a8c14381d12cd24!2sStreethay%20Primary%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sen!4v1689241333691!5m2!1sen!2sen) ![Streethay Primary School ](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/images/logo/Footer_Logo.png) **Streethay Primary School** Yoxall Way Streethay Lichfield WS13 8FT Tel: 01543 396180 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### School Opening Times - We are open 7:30am-6pm - The official school day runs from 8:35am-3:15pm - Before school club runs 7:30am-8:35am - After school club runs 3:15pm-6pm - The school office is contactable by phone 8am-4pm ### Newsletter ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StreethayPrimary) - [X](https://twitter.com/StreethaySchool) © Copyright 2023–2026 Streethay Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
