Mathematics

All children are encouraged to enjoy Mathematics and can become enthusiastic mathematicians by developing their skills, qualities and knowledge through practical experiences, which have relevance and purpose. Our teaching and learning focus is on the three key areas identified in the National Curriculum:

• Becoming fluent in the fundamentals of Mathematics through frequent practice- recalling knowledge rapidly.
• Reasoning mathematically- investigating and proving statements using maths language.
• Applying maths to solve a range of problems- persevering to seek solutions.

We follow the 'Mastery' approach to mathematics which is made explicit in the National Curriculum and recent studies. The aim is to provide all children with full access to the curriculum, enabling them to achieve confidence and competency with key skills. 

Teaching and learning will follow the 5 big ideas in the mastery approach:
