All Knowsley schools follow the National Numeracy Strategy Framework for the teaching of Mathematics. This includes:

• Using and applying mathematical skills
• Number
• Shape and Space
• Mental and Oral work on Problem Solving

Schools usually timetable daily mathematics lessons lasting between 45 minutes to 1 hour and pupils are taught in whole-class and small-group settings as well as working independently. In addition, mathematical skills should be practised and embedded across other areas of a wide and creative curriculum.

National age-related expectations mean that schools aim to support children in reaching level 2 by the end of Key Stage 1 and level 4 by the end of Key Stage 2.
