Using White Rose Maths to Help Children Master Maths

The White Rose Maths mastery approach has seen tremendous success in schools all over the UK, helping children learn with a can-do attitude and embrace maths challenges with a smile. Lessons and resources influenced by White Rose focus on three concepts that help children work towards mastery.

Problem Solving

Through problem-solving lessons and activities, children are encouraged to use their mathematical skills and understanding to solve problems unfamiliar to them.

Reasoning

Maths reasoning tasks get children thinking about number problems logically so they can reach conclusions, find solutions and decide which methods to use and why.

Fluency

Fluency tasks help children strengthen their foundational knowledge. They practise applying their skills and understanding to different number problems with varying contexts and levels of complexity, while independently choosing the method they use to tackle number problems successfully. Fluency brings together problem-solving and reasoning.

Discover Resources That Follow the White Rose Maths Small Steps to Progression

Maths mastery is a journey and to help youngsters on their way, so White Rose Maths has created “Small Steps to Progression”. These small steps break down which learning objectives children need to master, and in what order, to gain a deep understanding of maths topics, and gradually develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills.

There are small steps for each year group, sorted into blocks of weeks. For example, block one for Year 1 covers what children should learn between weeks one to three of the Autumn term. By following these steps, you can make sure children gain all of the foundational skills and knowledge they need to progress onto more complex and challenging lessons.

To help you work through the small steps with your class or with your child, we offer weekly resources that align with them. When you browse our maths resources by year group, you’ll find weekly packs of worksheets, teaching slides and lesson plans. These packs make it easy for you to follow the White Rose steps, save time on lesson planning and find resources that perfectly match your lessons and where children are in terms of progress.

The Benefits of White Rose Maths for Schools: Transforming Lessons with a Mastery Approach

Help All Children Master Maths at a Similar Pace

White Rose inspired lessons meet the needs of all children and focus on helping them keep up, not catch up. The small steps for progression make sure all pupils master the same learning objectives and progress at a similar pace. No children should fall behind, and none should speed through content ahead of their classmates. Instead, children of all levels of attainment get the support they need to grasp topics and explore concepts in depth. Only once the whole class has a good understanding of one learning objective do teachers move onto more advanced lessons.

Build Children’s Confidence and Competence in Maths

Every teacher wants to see their class excel in all subjects and White Rose Maths resources and frameworks can help whole classes work towards maths mastery. A big part of the mastery approach is teaching children to adopt a growth mindset. Maths lessons should show pupils that anyone can become a master of maths if they put in the effort and get the support they need to succeed.

When children stop believing that they can’t do maths and adopt a more positive, proactive attitude to this subject, that’s when they can reach their full mathematical potential. They’re likely to feel more confident and engaged in lessons, and the more they embrace maths challenges, the easier it will be for them to develop skills and understanding.

Streamline Lesson Preparation

White Rose Maths takes a weight off your shoulders when it comes to lesson planning. With Schemes of Learning, yearly frameworks and detailed small steps to progression, you won’t have to worry about planning what to cover in lessons each day, week, month and term.

The clear learning objectives outlined in the small steps to progression also make it easy for you to find resources to complement lessons and help children progress.

White Rose Maths for Parents:
Get Children Engaged in Learning at Home

The White Rose approach isn’t just for teachers to use in the classroom. You can also use White Rose Maths in your home learning to help your little one improve their confidence in mathematics. Practice makes perfect, and if your children are learning at home as well as at school, they’ll have a chance to delve deep into maths topics and develop a firmer understanding of the lessons covered in school. This knowledge and understanding can pave the way for more advanced maths.

White Rose Maths also makes it easier for you to support your child with their home learning tasks. As a busy parent, you don’t want to spend time trying to figure out exactly what children are learning at school, and you don’t have the time to learn topics for yourself so you can guide your child through it. You can use the White Rose Maths small steps as a schedule for your home learning sessions and you can find endless White Rose resources right here on the Master the Curriculum website. As homework will often be fluency or consolidation tasks, you won’t have to guide your child through number problems.
