Calculation Policy
28 Feb 2022
At Handsworth Primary School, we are following the White Rose Maths Mastery Scheme, which reflects and covers the National Curriculum objectives.
The Calculation Policy demonstrates a clear understanding of how all operations (+ - ÷ x) are taught sequentially through the year groups. Included are illustrations of how the teaching of calculations are modelled by teachers and how concepts are taught through the CPA process:
Concrete:
Children are given the opportunity to use concrete objects and manipulatives to help them understand what they are doing.
Pictorial:
Alongside, concrete, children use pictorial representations. These representations can then be used to help reason and solve problems.
Abstract:
Both concrete and pictorial representations support children’s understanding of abstract methods.
