Maths

Mathematics is an essential tool for everyday life. It is a whole network of concepts and relationships which provide a way of viewing and making links and sense of the world. It is used to analyse and communicate information and ideas and to tackle a range of practical tasks and real-life problems.

Our aim is for all our pupils to develop:

- A positive attitude towards mathematics as well as provide fun, creativity and enjoyment to their learning

- Confidence and competence in the pupils’ mathematical knowledge, concepts and skills

- An ability to solve problems, to reason, to think logically and to work systematically and accurately.

- An ability to communicate mathematics; being exposed to the language of maths, using subject specific vocabulary, as this is integral to accessing the subject.

- An ability to use and apply mathematics across the curriculum and in real life

- Initiative and an ability to work both independently and in cooperation with others

- An understanding of mathematics being through a process of enquiry, exploration and experiment
