Maths

Maths is an adventure for children (and adults) to immerse themselves in, get creative with, make mistakes and conquer! At St Margaret Mary's Junior School, we use Power Maths - a whole-class mastery programme designed to spark curiosity and excitement and help nurture confidence in maths.

The Power Maths characters model the traits of growth mindset learners and encourage resilience by prompting and questioning children as they work. Appearing frequently in the Textbooks and Practice Books, they help with discussion, help to model methods, show alternatives and misconceptions, and pose questions. They  are all hardworking, enthusiastic and unafraid of making and talking about mistakes - just like the children in SMMJ!
