Maths
Curriculum intent
At Dulwich Hamlet, we believe every child can be a mathematician. Our curriculum follows the National Curriculum, ensuring deep conceptual understanding of numerical and geometrical structures to effectively reason and solve problems.
How we teach
We embed mastery by ensuring children not only know mathematical facts but can explain, represent, and apply them in real-world contexts. Using appropriate manipulatives and visual representations, lessons are structured to encourage deep thinking, with opportunities to explore patterns, justify reasoning, and solve problems flexibly.
Impact
Our approach ensures pupils become confident mathematical thinkers who can make connections across different areas of the subject, supporting a deeper understanding of mathematics and its relevance in everyday life.
How you can help at home
Encourage regular practice of number bonds and times tables to build fluency. Use Doodle Tables and Times Tables Rock Stars to make learning engaging. Discuss real-life maths, such as measuring, budgeting, and estimating, to show its everyday relevance.
