Maths
Subject co-ordinator: Mrs Sharp
At St Edward’s RC Primary School, we aim to provide our children with the skills to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, to be able to reason mathematically and solve problems by applying their Mathematics. These skills are embedded within lessons and established over time to develop consistency. At the centre of our mathematics curriculum is the belief that all children can be successful in the study of mathematics. We aim to deliver an inspiring, engaging and motivating mathematics curriculum that also develops a child’s resilience both in and outside the classroom. Mathematics at St. Edward’s plays its part in allowing all children to grow in self-confidence in their own ability and encourages them to develop a sense of pride towards their Mathematical understanding, regardless of ability. We believe in providing challenge to children of all abilities.
Our mastery curriculum promotes deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding so that children are able to become fluent in calculations and grow in confidence to reason mathematically and solve problems successfully. Through our mastery approach to mathematics, we aim to ensure all children are prepare for the world around them, both now and in their future. The collaborative nature of our Mathematics curriculum continues to teach our children to respect others and their ideas and show kindness and support to each other. Children are encouraged to embrace mistakes as a part of learning and develop resilience through unpicking mistakes. We aim to promote a positive attitude towards the subject, through developing enjoyment and providing opportunities for children to build on conceptual understanding of mathematics, before applying their knowledge to everyday problems and challenges.
