Maths
Maths is an important creative discipline that helps us to understand and change the world. We want all of the children at Nythe Nursery and Primary School to experience the beauty, power and enjoyment of mathematics and develop a sense of curiosity about the subject with a clear understanding.
At Nythe, we foster positive ‘can do’ attitudes; we believe all children can achieve in mathematics and we teach for secure and deep understanding of mathematical concepts. We use mistakes and misconceptions as an essential part of learning and provide challenge through rich and sophisticated problems before acceleration through new content.
Our pupils have many opportunities to solve problems by applying their mathematical understanding to a variety of problems with increasingly sophistication, including in unfamiliar contexts and to model real-life scenarios. Mathematical ideas are discussed and reasoned and not just received ‘passively’ by our pupils.

Multiply Maths Sessions for Families
We were delighted to quality for a Multiply Maths Grant. This enabled us to run training sessions throughout Term 3, explaining to parents and carers how we teach addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
