Maths at Wymondley is taught through the following content...
At Wymondley, we follow the HfL ESSENTIAL Maths plans which covers objectives in a cyclic way meaning they are revisited a number of times throughout the school year, ensuring a deeper level of fluency and understanding. Throughout all year groups, part-whole or cherry diagrams and bar models are regularly used as a way to help gain a deeper understanding of how numbers work.
The concepts taught throughout each term are shown below.

Through this content, the children learn and develop the following skills...
We believe in the concrete - pictorial - abstract approach to learning Maths, where children use manipulatives to physically carry out the mathematical procedure, before moving on to using images and then being able to work independently with just the digits. This happens throughout all year groups to help support the children in fully understanding a concept.
