Mathematics
Mathematics equips pupils with a uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world.
These tools include logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and the ability to think in abstract ways. Mathematics is important in everyday life, many forms of employment, science and technology, medicine, the economy, the environment and development, and in public decision-making.
Different cultures have contributed to the development and application of mathematics. Today, the subject transcends cultural boundaries and its importance is universally recognised.
Mathematics is a creative discipline. It can stimulate moments of pleasure and wonder when a pupil solves a problem for the first time, discovers a more elegant solution to that problem, or suddenly sees hidden connections.
Our Maths Intent
All learners at St Francis Catholic Primary School experience a rich and in-depth mathematical curriculum that aims for ‘mastery for all’. When children attain ‘mastery’ they become secure experts in age related objectives and are able to confidently apply mathematical learning into a range of real-life contexts and problems.
It is the priority that all learners become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, in order to have a secure foundation on which to explore and make links within the subject. Opportunities to problem solve as well as think, talk and reason mathematically builds children’s resilience and fosters a sense of awe, wonder and fun in the subject. Embedded within the learning, are opportunities to recognise and utilise mathematics throughout the wider curriculum, as well as in real life contexts.
Our learners leave the school as positive and confident mathematicians.
