Maths at Belmont
UNCRC Article 28 & 29: The right to a good quality education.
Intent
At Belmont, we believe Mathematics is vital for child development from EYFS to KS2. Our curriculum aims to:
-
Foster enjoyment through practical exploration.
-
Build confidence with number and reasoning.
-
Develop resilience in problem-solving.
-
Encourage application of Maths in everyday life.
-
Recognise the contribution of Mathematics to society.
We are part of the DfE-funded Maths Hubs programme.
Implementation
We use a Maths Mastery approach across EYFS–Y6, following the National Curriculum, White Rose and Power Maths. We believe all pupils can achieve high standards. Teaching includes:
-
Ongoing CPD to support progression planning.
-
Personalised and sequenced learning.
-
Same-day intervention.
-
Consistent use of Power Maths and White Rose.
Fluency
Fluency is developed through frequent practice, integrated sessions, and regular use of mathematical vocabulary. Pupils use concrete, pictorial, and abstract methods (CPA) to secure understanding. Every classroom has a Maths learning zone to support independent learning.
Impact
Pupils leave Belmont confident, fluent, and resilient mathematicians. They can reason, problem-solve, and make connections within and beyond Maths. Teachers and staff model the mastery approach, ensuring pupils are engaged, articulate, and passionate about the subject. With targeted support and online tools, all children are encouraged to succeed and celebrate their progress.
Online Learning
Online Learning
In order to practise skills learnt in the classroom, it is essential that children revisit their learning at home. We provide a number of online learning resources that children should use regularly at home.
Numbots
Numbots is an online resource to support your children’s Mathematics in Early Years, Key Stage 1 and early Key Stage 2.

Times Table Rockstars (TTRS)
We expect all children at Belmont to have a secure grasp of the multiplication tables. Just like learning to walk before you can run, learning multiplication and memorising the times tables are building blocks for other maths topics taught in school – such as division, long multiplication, fractions and algebra. We explicitly teach and assess times tables. We recognise that pupils who do not memorise the times tables will find many aspects of maths much more difficult than they need to be. We therefore ask parents/ carers for support in helping their children to learn the multiplication tables.

White Rose 1 -Minute Maths
The 1-Minute Maths app helps children build greater number confidence and fluency. It’s all about targeted practice in engaging, one-minute chunks!
