Maths

‘Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.’-Albert Einstein

Purpose of study 

We are committed to ensuring that children are able to recognise the importance of Maths in the wider world and that they are also able to use their mathematical skills and knowledge confidently in their lives in a range of different contexts. We want all children to enjoy Mathematics and to experience success in the subject, with the ability to reason mathematically. We are committed to developing children’s curiosity about the subject, as well as an appreciation of the beauty and power of Mathematics. We aim to deliver lessons that are creative and engaging. We want children to make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. We intend for our pupils to be able to apply their mathematical knowledge to everyday life and across other curriculum subjects, recognising that these skills are essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment.

Aims 

Our curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:

• Learn to recall mathematical knowledge automatically without the need to think about it. (Automaticity)
• Become fluent in applying mathematical strategies in an efficient and accurate way. (Fluency)
