Maths national curriculum
The national curriculum for maths aims to ensure that all pupils:
• become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately
• reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
• can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Intent
To be curious about maths and explore how mathematics is integral to the world around them.
We enable children to succeed in everyday life by mastering essential financial literacy.
From Nursey to year 6 children will become confident and fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics and overtime will reason and problem solve increasing complex concepts.
“A great maths teacher challenges the curiosity of their students by setting them stimulating questions and giving them a taste for independent thinking”.
