Calculation Policy

Calculation Policy

This calculation policy has been created to meet the expectations of the National Curriculum. The new curriculum focuses on skills and mastery and is not about moving children on to the next method as soon as they can do the one before. Working on more complex and richer problems rather than new methods will support this ‘mastering’ of maths. 

This policy has been produced to inform all staff, parents, carers and Governors of the methods used in school in the teaching of Mathematical calculations.  Please take time to look at the models and ideas for each calculation area and how these develop from practical activities to written forms.
