Power Maths
At St John's Primary School, we use Power Maths - an exciting mastery approach - for our maths lessons.
It has been recommended by the Department of Education, DFE, to ensure that the aims, of the National Curriculum are achieved.
At the heart of Power Maths is the belief that all children can achieve. It rejects the idea that people simply ‘can’t do’ maths. It is built on a growth mindset and problem-solving approach.
Maths at St John's
At St. John’s we feel that manipulatives not only allow pupils to construct their own cognitive models for abstract mathematical ideas and processes, they also provide a common language with which to communicate these models to the teacher and other pupils.
Examples of our learning
At St. John’s we follow the Power Maths Scheme of Learning for maths.
