Mathematics at North Star 82°
Mathematics is a fundamental part of education at North Star 82, providing pupils with essential problem-solving skills and logical reasoning. The daily encounter with maths, whether through structured lessons or practical application in the community, is crucial for developing numeracy. This not only prepares children for the mathematical challenges of daily life but also enriches their understanding of the world around them. The programme, White Rose Maths, follows a structured approach that supports the development of a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, fostering a positive attitude towards learning and an appreciation for the value of maths in everyday life.

Times Tables
We learn our times tables in this order:
2 x tables, 5 x tables, 10 x tables, 3 x tables, 4 x tables, 8 x tables, 6 x tables, 9 x tables, 11 x tables, 7 x tables, 12 x tables
The children are tested on their times tables regularly in school.
Assessment
Children will sit a test at the end of each unit of work to find out if children have fully understood what was taught that term. In term 6, children will sit the end of year test which covers everything they have learned that year.
