MATHS AT ULEY SCHOOL
At Uley Primary School, we use the White Rose Maths curriculum. We want our staff to be confident at teaching maths and for our children to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, to be able to reason and to solve problems. At Uley School, we appreciate that there are some aspects of maths that need to be learnt before others, e.g. place value needs to be understood before working with addition and subtraction, addition needs to be learnt before looking at multiplication (as a model of repeated addition). White Rose Maths emphasises number skills first, carefully ordered, throughout our primary curriculum.
At Uley we teach mathematics so that our pupils develop their understanding and enjoyment of the subject, and this includes linking the subject where possible to concepts in our everyday lives.
For teaching the four calculations, please see our Calculation Policy. This outlines the methods we use from Reception to Year 6, to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

TIMES TABLES
There is a statutory Multiplication tables check for children in June of Year 4. The test consists of pupils answering 25 multiplication questions (up to the 12 times tables) within a certain time limit. The main aim of the tests is to increase children’s confidence with learning their times table in preparation for their time in Year 5 and 6.To help practise and recall their times tables in school, the children complete a daily Rainbow Maths activity and enjoy competing in a times table competitions within their class. However, we also encourage all pupils to continue to practise their times tables at home.
Below are a list of useful website/resources you can use to support your child/children at home with practising and recalling their times tables:
