Maths

Intent

‘Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe.’

Galileo Galilei

Maths is a creative and highly interconnected discipline which is essential to everyday life, critical to science and technology, and necessary for financial literacy. At Ashby C of E Primary our intention is to develop confident, ‘can do’ mathematicians, who can reason, problem-solve and apply their knowledge and skills across a range of contexts in the real world.

At Ashby C of E we believe that children should experience consistency in the approach to quality teaching of mathematics as they move through the school so they;

• Build progressively on their existing knowledge and understanding
• Understand the links in their learning
• Gain automaticity in key number facts
• Articulate their understanding clearly
• Calculate and solve numerical problems confidently and efficiently

Essentially, our ethos is that all children can be successful in the study of mathematics.  We do not accept that ‘some children cannot do maths.’ Maths is for everyone and we teach the skills to ensure our children are resilient learners who become life-long Mathematicians.
