At Roxton CE Academy we aim to ensure all our children leave at the end of year 6 with firm foundations, skills and confidence to solve a range of mathematical problems that require fluency with numbers and reasoning. To give maths a purpose we make links between maths and the real world so children can see the relevance of developing these life skills.

As a school we have adopted the Herts for Learning scheme of work, which aims to develop mathematical learning through fluency, reasoning and problem solving. It does this by using approaches which include the use of concrete, pictorial and abstract methods. Children will progress through different methods according to their readiness and confidence.
