St Michael's CE Primary

Maths

We aim to provide a challenging, balanced and stimulating mathematics curriculum based on the National Curriculum. We promote a positive and confident attitude to maths as an exciting, creative and relevant subject. We also want to ensure that all our children realise their potential, becoming confident and enthusiastic mathematicians. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that there is a focus on promoting core numeracy skills; such as multiplication tables, number bonds and place value; as well as reasoning and explaining our ideas to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.

We want all children to become confident and articulate mathematicians.

We achieve this by ensuring all of our pupils:

  • develop fluency in their mathematical understanding, being able to rapidly recall and apply their knowledge.
  • learn to reason mathematically, using mathematical language  to explain their understanding.
  • can solve problems, through applying their mathematical knowledge in various contexts and using different strategies.

We have an exciting mathematics curriculum and children have access to a range of learning resources to develop a secure depth of understanding.
