Mathematics

 

Vision

We aim to provide the pupils with a mathematics curriculum which will produce individuals who are literate, creative, independent, inquisitive, enquiring and confident. We also aim to provide a stimulating environment and enriching resources so that pupils can develop their mathematics skills to their full potential.

 

Aims

In mathematics, our pupils should:

• Have a sense of a number and where it fits into the number system
• Know by heart number facts such as number bonds, multiplication tables, doubles and halves
• Use what they know by heart to calculate mentally
• Calculate accurately using efficient written methods (see the school's calculation policy for further details)
• Have coherent strategies for solving word problems
• Explain their methods and reasoning using the correct mathematical vocabulary
• Suggest suitable units for measuring and make sensible estimations of measures
• Explain the information which is presented in graphs, tables, charts and any other diagrams
• Develop spatial awareness and an understanding of the properties of 2D and 3D shapes

What our children say

I like how in maths there is always more than one way to do something.

 

Maths is going to help me in the future.

 

The challenges in maths make me really like it!

 

Maths is a tool that we use daily.

 

I like how in maths it is never finished. The numbers are always getting more difficult.

 

You get to learn lots of new things such as percentages.
