At Stoneydelph Primary School, we provide a mathematics curriculum that is planned and sequenced to ensure new knowledge and skills build on what has been previously taught.
We adopted the Mathematics Mastery programme in 2018 and, as of September 2022, it will have been rolled out to all classes from Reception to Year 6.
The curriculum is underpinned by three Dimensions of Depth:
Conceptual understanding; pupils deepen their understanding by representing concepts using objects, pictures, symbols and words.
Language and communication; this strengthens conceptual understanding and enables pupils to explain and reason.
Mathematical Thinking; this supports pupils to develop mathematical minds i.e. being systematic, seeking patterns.
The Dimensions of Depth address the barriers that prevent pupils from achieving in mathematics; it also ensures that the highest attaining pupils excel through more in-depth problem solving. It provides pupils with a rich set of skills that will help them to move and grow through the mathematical world.
The 99 club begins at the 11 club which consists of 11 multiplication equations. Children have 5 minutes to complete the quiz and get all answers correct. Children must get full marks 3 times in a row before progressing to the next club; 22 club. Each time your child correctly completes their quiz in the allotted time, they will receive 5 ’99 club’ dojos. Once they are able to move on to their next level, they will be able to choose a gift from Mrs Parsons goodie box in Friday’s achievers assembly and a certificate.
Children who become part of the 99 club will receive an extra special reward.
Below is a full breakdown of the 99 club levels:
