At Whitby Heath we are using 'Maths No Problem' a Singapore Maths approach to learning mathematical concepts. Through this approach the children are encouraged to use a collaborative and problem solving approach to applying their knowledge of maths concepts being taught.
The children at Whitby Heath are encouraged to practice their maths skills using the online programme 'Mathletics'. Each week the classes and child with the highest score receive a certificate. The children are able to earn Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates as they work through the programme and earn points.
From Year 2 the children take part in the Whitby Heath's own 'Times Table Challenge' where they are encouraged to learn and use thier times table facts. As they achieve each level of the challenge they earn badges. The class with the most points each week gain time on the football/netball area of the playground on a Friday.
