Maths
In February 2019, we introduced a new mastery led mathematics curriculum at Roby Park. Power Maths is a whole-class mastery programme designed to spark curiosity and excitement and helps teachers to nurture confidence in Maths. It is developed alongside a group of teachers to ensure Power Maths meets all the needs of children. As well as Power Maths, we have set aside a time of the day to focus on fluency and the teaching of key number facts including number bonds, times tables, doubling, halving etc.

Mathematics is central to learning. Our children lives are full of numbers. Mathematics also helps them to achieve well in other subjects such as science, computing, history and geography. It is vital to how our children learn and live.
The aim of our curriculum is to ensure that our children master their understanding of Mathematics at their age related expectations.
At Roby Park, we aim to develop children who:
- Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including the varied and regular practice of increasingly complex problems over time.
- Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, understanding relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
- Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.

20YN Maths
This week we have been creating flower patterns in Maths! The children have been fantastic at creating their repeating patterns!
87Y5 History
History was all about maths today! Y5 learnt : The Maya were one of the first civilisations to use the concept of zero; they counted in base 20 and they used dots and bars to represent 5s and 1s. Children then created their own number line to 20. #RPHistory
47Y2 Growing Up Week
Growing up week was a fantastic end to an amazing spring term. The children were able to come to school dressed as what they want to be when they grow up. We had vets, doctors, hair dressers, artists, chefs, beauticians, soldiers, footballers and dancers. #aspirations #DreamBig
43Y1 Growing Up Week
As part of growing up week we talked about where money came from. This lead us to discussing what we want to be when we grow up to earn money and then dressing up as this career! From footballers to doctors, ballerinas and vets – we all have high aspirations! #RPGrowingUpWeek

We are raising money for NSPCC. We will be collecting £1 donations and children can wear clothes with numbers on or patterns. We will also be hosting a small cake sale after school, on the main playground
66Y2 Maths
Y2 loved finding efficient ways of adding 2 digit & 1 digit numbers. One child said, “When I was using the tens frames I noticed that I can use number bonds to 10 to help work out 18+5. It was quick & is now 1 of my favourite methods.”? #RPMaths

45Developing our addition and subtraction skills ➕➖
During maths, we used place value grids and counters to develop our addition and subtraction skills of four digit numbers ➕➖#RPMaths #PowerMaths
36Rounding numbers to the nearest 100,000
Year 5 have recently been using number lines to develop our understanding of rounding numbers to the nearest 100,000.#RPMaths @WhiteRoseEd @Pearson_UK
46Most importantly Year 2 find these approaches fun & engaging
Research from @EducEndowFoundn shows that collaborative learning has a big impact on children’s progress. Most importantly Year 2 find these approaches fun & engaging. Here are some of our class working collaboratively to solve place value problems in maths @pearson #powermaths
