Mathematics
Maths Statement of intent:
At Echelford, our mission is to enable all of our children to enjoy and feel confident that they can succeed in mathematics and we believe that prior attainment should not limit what a child is capable of learning. We take a mastery approach to the teaching and learning of this subject, providing a deep conceptual understanding for our learners. We want our children to become mathematical thinkers, seeing beyond what is tested in national examinations and to be equipped with an understanding that will be relevant and useful in whatever context they encounter it.

Time and Resources Activities
You can play with setting time on the clock and explore how the clock works in relation to time including seconds, minutes and hours.
Practical Activities:
When cooking dinner (whether it be you or your grown ups), can you write down the timings? This includes how long it takes to prepare the food as well as how long it takes to bake a cake.
Can you time yourself doing your daily exercise? How long did it take? What time did you start? What time did you finish?
Can you challenge someone at home to the time game that Stephen Mulhern loves to play on his Saturday evening TV programme 'In for a Penny'? You decide on a set amount of seconds as the target (e.g. 10 seconds), the judge has a stopwatch and tells you when to begin. You need to tell the judge to stop the stopwatch when you think it has been that exact number of seconds. Keep taking it in turns and changing the target.
