Maths

At Talbot Heath, our maths curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and develop a deep understanding of the subject. We follow the National Curriculum and ensure we remain up to date with its developments, while also extending learning beyond its expectations to provide a rich and engaging mathematical experience.

Our teaching focuses on developing key skills in fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving. Alongside traditional teaching methods, we place a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on learning and making meaningful real-life connections. Wherever possible, we take learning outdoors—using our school grounds and natural environment to bring mathematical concepts to life in creative and engaging ways.

To support each child’s progress, we make use of a wide variety of high-quality resources, including manipulatives, visual models, games, and interactive tools. Every pupil also uses DoodleMaths and DoodleTables—adaptive online platforms that tailor learning to individual needs and help reinforce key concepts at home and at school.

At Talbot Heath, we want every child to see maths as a relevant, exciting subject they can enjoy and succeed in. By nurturing resilience, creativity and curiosity, we lay strong foundations for lifelong mathematical confidence.
