Curriculum Design

at Didsbury CE Primary School


A broad and balanced curriculum

At Didsbury CE, children engage in daily maths lessons (time varies by key stage), as well as daily fluency or maths recall sessions. We have always been committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum that is not narrowed in end of key stage years. We facilitate children by developing their mathematics skills via other curriculum areas and cross curricular links (e.g. chronology and dates in history, data handling and time in science, coding and spreadsheets in computing) and promote opportunities for them to engage in opportunities to practise maths and understand maths in a real life context.

 


CPA

Our Maths curriculum is delivered through highly effective ‘quality first teaching’. All children, when introduced to a key new concept, can build competency through guided and independent practice. Children are encouraged to physically represent mathematical concepts with variation when using concrete resources, pictorial (models and images) to demonstrate and visualise abstract ideas, alongside numbers and symbols.
