Maths at Coldfall
At Coldfall the children are taught using the White Rose maths workbooks and schemes. These are rooted in the mastery principles of the National Curriculum, and designed to give children a deep understanding of mathematical principles, a precise and accurate mathematical vocabulary and a range of highly effective, problem solving techniques and promote excellent mathematical reasoning.
By effectively using this approach to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogy of teachers we aim to raise standards of teaching and learning, increase children’s confidence and enjoyment and instil firm foundations for them to succeed in maths in the future.
