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:

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
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
Another part of our week has been focused around economic education. We explored how to effectively manage a bank account, the usefulness of online banking and interest rates. We also had an informative junior tax fact workshop from
This week in Maths, we have been exploring the topic of algebra. We started the week by finding a rule, then we looked at substitution and have started to explore simplifying expressions using concrete resources.
Today we wore clothes with numbers or patterns on to raise money for @NSPCC
We enjoyed our Maths activities across the day, especially colouring and ordering our Number Blocks! #RPMaths #RPEnrichment #NumberDay2024
Today we wore clothes with numbers or patterns on to raise money for @NSPCC
We enjoyed maths activities today including creating our own number line and representing numbers to 10. #RPMaths #RPEnrichment #NumberDay2024
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
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
In maths this week we have been comparing amounts using the vocabulary more and fewer. We had a dilemma while making our fruit skewers, there wasn’t enough of each item for everyone. We compared amounts and even did some great subitising. #RPMaths
We then painted our own different sized pumpkins. Fantastic, Nursery! 🎃 #RPMaths #RPEYFS
We have also been comparing different sized pumpkins! We found a big, medium and small pumpkin. We talked about the different sizes and put them in order. Well done, Nursery! 🎃 #RPMaths #RPEYFS
Today we have been creating some spooky pizzas. We practised our counting 1-5 using spiders. The children had great fun! 🕷️🕸️ #RPMaths #RPEYFS
Representing 5! Children have been exploring with different ways to represent 5, they found many ways. #RPMaths
During maths, we used place value grids and counters to develop our addition and subtraction skills of four digit numbers ➕➖#RPMaths #PowerMaths
Year 5 have recently been using number lines to develop our understanding of rounding numbers to the nearest 100,000.#RPMaths @WhiteRoseEd @Pearson_UK
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
