Maths

We want the children of our academies to become confident and critical mathematicians who are able to solve problems efficiently, applying them in real life contexts. We provide our children with opportunities to:

  • Develop good mental strategies, committing what has been learnt to memory.

  • Develop efficient methods of recording working in line with the academy’s calculation policy.

  • Develop the ability to work independently, selecting their own methods and resources needed to support learning.

  • Develop a love of maths through learning in a range of different ways.

  • Access a range of resources to support their learning,

  • Learn through real life scenarios, experiencing practical applications of maths.

  • Develop an accurate mathematical vocabulary to be able to share their thinking, describe strategies and learn from each other’s responses

Through the RESPECT Curriculum, our children are provided with rich and varied opportunities to apply their mathematical knowledge. We believe that central to an ability to select and apply skills effectively is the need for a clear understanding of core mathematical skills. We separate these core skills into 4 main areas: Number, Shape & Space, Measure and Statistics.
