Our Goals
At Anston Hillcrest, through the White Rose Maths scheme, we aim to develop confident, curious, and resilient mathematicians. Our structured maths curriculum equips children with a deep understanding of mathematical concepts through a mastery approach, encouraging fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving. By building knowledge in small, manageable steps, children gain the skills to tackle increasingly complex problems with independence. We focus on ensuring every child develops a strong foundation in maths, empowering them to apply their skills to real-world situations and future learning with confidence and success.
​
Why?
​
Enhancing children's mathematical skills, critical thinking, and curiosity through a structured maths curriculum not only enriches their educational experience but also equips them with essential skills for success both in school and beyond. Developing problem-solving abilities, confidence, and a strong foundation in mathematical concepts is vital to children's holistic development, and our maths curriculum provides the framework for this growth. Through engaging and hands-on learning experiences, children gain the ability to apply their mathematical knowledge to real-world situations, fostering a love for learning and preparing them for future opportunities in an increasingly complex world.​​​

Adaptations
​
The maths curriculum at Anston Hillcrest for disadvantaged children, including those with SEND is adapted using concrete resources like manipulatives, number lines, and visual aids to support understanding. Hands-on activities, such as sorting objects and using counters, enhance engagement with mathematical concepts.
Visual prompts, simplified instructions, and interactive games develop collaboration and participation, ensuring all children can develop essential maths skills in an inclusive environment.
