Maths Marshfields acknowledges the benefits of Maths ‘Mastery’ teaching and learning through all Pathways. It encourages pupils to recognise and make connections using the concrete, pictorial and abstract approach interspersed with classroom discussion through pair work. We encourage the practical application of Maths through classroom activities, outdoor learning, role play, songs, trips and visits.
