Bishop Monkton CE Primary has been a member of the Yorkshire Ridings Maths Hub for several years. Our pupils, and staff, have benefitted greatly from the knowledge gained though the collaboration this participation brings. 

During the 2022-2023 academic year, we are participating in the following Maths Hub workgroups: 

1. Sustaining Mastery 

Participation in this work group will ensure our staff continue to:

• enhance their mathematical subject knowledge, emphasising key areas of maths
• learn how to establish an effective collaborative planning culture
• plan, teach and reflect collaboratively to provide a coherent mastery curriculum
• continue to refine school structures and systems to embed and sustain mastery
• continue to ensure a sustainable model for collaborative planning and ongoing specialist subject knowledge development for all teachers.

2. Mastering Number (EYFS)

Participation in this work group will ensure that our staff continue to:

• develop skills in working in a professional learning community, reflecting with other colleagues on their own practice, and refining skills through support and challenge within a community
• develop a secure understanding of how to build firm mathematical foundations with a stronger subject and pedagogical understanding for EYFS and KS1
• work to develop intentional teaching strategies focused on developing fluency in calculation and number sense for ALL children
• develop understanding and their use of appropriate manipulatives to support their teaching of mathematical structures.
