"There is a difference between not knowing and not knowing yet"

Sheila Tobias

We aim to inspire all our pupils, irrespective of their ability, to reach their full academic potential in all subjects. We recognise that mathematics is a critical area of skill and knowledge that impacts on the quality and value of the lives we lead. Therefore, our objectives in the teaching of the maths curriculum include: • Promoting enjoyment of learning through practical activity, outdoor learning, exploration and discussion; • Developing confidence and competence with numbers and the number system; • Developing children’s ability to solve a variety of problems through decision-making and reasoning in a range of contexts; • Developing a practical understanding of the ways in which information is gathered and presented; • Exploring features of shape and space, and developing measuring skills in a range of contexts; • Helping children understand the importance of mathematics in everyday life • Encouraging explanation, reasoning, justification and routine and non-routine problem solving across a range of contexts.
