Year 4 Mathematics

Year 4

National Curriculum guidelines for the teaching of Mathematics are followed, using the Heinemann Maths Scheme Level 5 and a wealth of independent resources. Cooperative work and a Problem Solving Approach is encouraged throughout Year 4 in order to develop the pupil’s knowledge and use of Mathematical Skills. The Year 4 curriculum follows the National Numeracy Strategy. Work is differentiated by task, so that children are working at their own levels of ability and pace. Extension and reinforcement work is given where necessary.
