Mathematics

Return to main Curriculum Page

   

At Darell, we aim to stimulate and develop the mathematical thinking of all our children. The curriculum helps children to develop their knowledge and understanding of number, shape, measures and handling data. There is a strong emphasis on whole class interactive oral work to sharpen and develop mental skills.

A great deal of the learning is done through practical problem solving in real and meaningful contexts.  Alongside these experiences children will learn to read and interpret mathematical symbols, and use pictures, diagrams jottings and empty number lines to support their thinking.

Over time children learn written methods of calculation. We also encourage children to explain decisions, methods and results, using mathematical language. We want to equip our children with the mathematical skills needed in everyday life and the confidence and ability to apply them in practical situations.
