Mathematics at Lingham Primary School

At Lingham we believe that all children can do maths and developing a growth mindset is central to our teaching. Children are encouraged to be confident and ‘have a go’ because all answers are valued and worth exploring – mistakes lead to rich discussions and new learning!  We want children to enjoy their maths journey so we provide lots of opportunities for them to work with their friends, talk about their maths and use a range of practical resources to help them to explain their thinking.

To create happy and successful mathematicians, we have adopted a mastery approach which is based on 5 big ideas – coherence, fluency, representations and structures , mathematical thinking and variation.
