Maths

At St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, we want every child to be confident, curious and enthusiastic learners of Mathematics, and to be eager to achieve their very best in order to fulfil their God-given talents. We firmly believe that the recipe for success is high quality first-wave teaching in Mathematics, combining fluency and deep conceptual understanding with enjoyment.

At St Joseph's, we use Power Maths resources throughout the school from Reception to Year 6. Power Maths uses a Maths Mastery approach and creates consistency, ensuring each child builds secure foundations, allowing them to progressively construct and extend their mathematical understanding as they move through the school.

Power Maths is written specifically for UK curriculum classrooms by leading mastery experts from around the world and recommended by the UK’s Department for Education.

The Power Maths characters grow as they move through each Key Stage, sharing a range of growth-mindset characteristics that our children identify with as they continue their own Maths adventure.
