Curriculum: Maths

We aim to foster an enthusiasm for mathematics in all our children and help

them to develop their mathematical abilities to the full. The Numeracy Strategy builds on early experiences and emphasises knowledge, understanding and skills and the use of number, shape, measure and handling data. These different aspects of maths are taught through a structured daily numeracy session. Where appropriate, the children also use and apply maths in other areas of the curriculum.

We place a strong emphasis on mental maths to develop basic skills. A great deal of the learning is through stimulating activities and 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.
