Mathematics Policy (Revised)
This policy outlines what we are aiming to achieve in respect of pupils’ mathematical education. It also describes our agreed approach to the planning, delivery and assessment of the mathematics’ curriculum. The mathematics taught and the methods used reflect the recommendations outlined in the DfES guidance contained in the documents:
(A) Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage
(B) Framework for Teaching Mathematics from Reception to Year 6
(C) Renewed Framework for Literacy and Mathematics
(D) Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance
It provides information and guidance for teachers, governors and other interested persons.

Mathematics Co-ordinators' Support Visits
As part of our continuing support programme for schools we are offering a focused support visit for maths co-ordinators.
Whilst the specific content of the discussion during the visit will vary from school to school, issues could include:
- the school's approach to systematic problem solving in mathematics and the use being made of current DfES recommended guidance materials (parts 2 and 3 are currently available in draft form). This is a particularly important area for development, not least because of the marked increase in 'using and applying' questions in SATs;
- possible use of LA produced 'fine-grading' assessment grids;
- effective data analysis including Fisher Family Trust material;
- curricular target setting based upon qualitative analysis of question level data.
A letter giving a possible time and date for the proposed visit is being sent to the headteacher of every primary, junior and infant school.

'Essential' Documentation
The following list was produced by the mathematics team. It was done in response to requests from co-ordinators who asked the team to list the essential documentation which all staff should have access to.
We feel that teachers should possess their own copies of the documents marked with an asterisk. Staff should have access to the other documents. All material listed is available on the Gateshead Grid (select appropriate category from the Primary Strategy - Numeracy home page) or the 'Publications' section of the Primary National Strategy - DfES Standards Site. (For access to this site, click here).
N.B. This list is intended to be a basic minimum. There is a great deal of useful resource and guidance material available on the above mentioned sites.
- Framework for Teaching Mathematics from Reception to Year 6*
- Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage*
- Teaching Written Calculations - Guidance for Teachers at Key Stages 1 and 2*
- Teaching Mental Calculation Strategies - Guidance for Teachers at Key Stages 1 and 2*
- Mathematical Vocabulary*
- Standards in Mathematics - Exemplification of Key Learning Objectives from Reception to Year 6
- Using Assess and Review Lessons*
- Wave 3 Mathematics - Supporting Children With Gaps in Their Mathematical Understanding
- Problem Solved - A Structured Approach to Mathematical Problems and Investigations*
- Mathematical Challenges for Able Pupils in Key Stages 1 and 2
- Problem Solving - A CPD Pack to Support the Learning and Teaching of Mathematical Problem Solving*

Curriculum Management Guide - Mathematics
This document is designed to be used as a tool by mathematics co-ordinators in order to help them to effectively fulfil their leadership role of the subject. It will support colleagues to give a clear view of standards in the subject and areas for school development.
It has been produced by Gateshead's Primary Numeracy Team, mainly in response to the question frequently asked by co-ordinators, 'What should be in my co-ordinator's file?'

Important Update Meeting for Mathematics Co-ordinators
Within Standards Fund allocation for 2004/2005, funding was devolved to enable every mathematics co-ordinator to attend a half-day of training.
The focus of the session will be upon three main areas:
1) Assessment for Learning
Current and future support in relation to mathematics.
2) Mathematics and ICT
An update will be given regarding new material which has been produced to support the use of ICT in the maths lesson. New arrangements for accessing this and future support materials will be outlined.
3) Problem Solving in Mathematics
Outline of the current position in Gateshead and a possible way forward.
FOR ALLOCATED DATES PLEASE REFER TO LETTER DATED 25 APRIL 2005. It is essential that reply slips are completed and returned to ensure appropriate catering and accommodation arrangements.
If you have any queries regarding this information, please contact Dorothy Perriam, Support Assistant, by telephone on 0191 4338648 or by e-mail to dorothyperriam@gateshead.gov.uk
