Maths at Onchan School
At Onchan, we follow a mastery approach to Maths, guided by the IOM Maths Entitlement Framework and White Rose. To provide variety and depth, we also supplement this with a range of additional materials and resources. Our approach promotes hands-on learning through the use of manipulatives, while also developing children’s problem-solving abilities and reasoning skills. Please find our Maths policy below for more information.
Mathletics
Every child, from years 1-6, have access to a Mathletics account. This allows them to access live Mathletics where they can compete against other students around the world and also curriculum challenges linked to their current learning in school. Teachers use it within their planning and children are encouraged to use it at home when possible. For more information on how to use Mathletics or support your child with it please follow this link.
Parent Guides for Learning at Home
