Mathematics.

Key Stage 2 · Years 3–6 · Ages 7–11

Develop fluency, reasoning and problem-solving from the very start. Our KS2 maths programme builds the numerical confidence every child needs.

Overview

What to expect.

Students work through a structured curriculum covering number and place value, the four operations, fractions, decimals, percentages, measurement, geometry and statistics. Lessons emphasise understanding over memorisation, with regular problem-solving challenges that teach students to think mathematically and explain their reasoning.

What students learn

Topics covered.

01

Number & place value

Reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers. Understanding place value up to millions and working with negative numbers.

02

Four operations

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with increasing complexity. Mental and written methods.

03

Fractions, decimals & percentages

Equivalent fractions, ordering, adding and subtracting fractions. Converting between fractions, decimals and percentages.

04

Measurement & geometry

Length, mass, capacity, time, perimeter, area and volume. Properties of 2D and 3D shapes, angles and coordinates.

05

Statistics

Interpreting and constructing tables, bar charts, pie charts and line graphs. Calculating mean averages.

Skills developed

Beyond the syllabus.

  • Numerical fluency and mental arithmetic
  • Logical reasoning and problem-solving
  • Mathematical communication and explanation
  • Data interpretation and analysis
  • Spatial awareness and geometric thinking
Assessment

How progress is measured.

Regular in-class quizzes and weekly homework marked by the teacher. Half-term assessments benchmark progress against national expectations. Termly reports give parents a clear picture of attainment and next steps.

Where it leads.

KS2 Mathematics prepares students for KS3, where they will extend into algebra, ratio, probability and more advanced geometry ahead of IGCSE Mathematics.

How mathematics lessons work.

i.

Live & interactive.

Every lesson is delivered live by a qualified teacher. Students participate through voice, chat, whiteboards and breakout rooms.

ii.

Small classes.

Maximum fifteen students per class. Every child gets individual attention, feedback and support throughout the lesson.

iii.

Recorded for review.

Every lesson is recorded and available on the student portal. Students can re-watch, revise and catch up at any time.
