Maths

Maths in the real world

At St.Francis’ we believe that maths is a cross curricular and creative subject where children learn best in the real world. Maths is taught every morning as an explicit subject but skills are used, applied and revised in the afternoon sessions such as PE, Science and topic work.

Here are some pictures of our Maths in other subjects:
