Maths Statement
Our intent is for every child to develop a sound understanding of the key concepts of mathematics, equipping them with the skills of calculation, reasoning and problem solving that they will need in life beyond school. A key priority in Maths, is to ensure that children develop a strong sense of number, calculations, place value and applying these to familiar and unfamiliar contexts. This can be presented in the form of: language use; calculation work; the recognising of patterns and applications to different contexts.
We believe in encouraging all children in school to become confident and brave mathematicians through challenge and high expectations. Content is appropriately adapted to ensure rapid progress.
‘The quality and variety of language that pupils hear and speak are key factors in developing their mathematical vocabulary and presenting a mathematically justification, argument or proof.’- 2014 Mathematics Programme of Study
