Mathematics Curriculum Intent
Our curriculum has been designed with the following in mind:
-The particular needs, strengths, and characteristics of our school community.
-The values which we would like to instill in all members of our school community: Curiosity, Compassion, Confidence, Commitment, Courage and Creativity.
-The requirements of the National Curriculum for Mathematics
Our Mathematics curriculum is designed with the aim that all children:
-Feel positive about mathematics and experience success in this subject.
-Show resilience and commitment when they encounter an aspect of mathematics that they find challenging.
-Are confident mathematicians who are fluent in the core arithmetic skills such as multiplication and division facts and number bonds. This allows them to access more complex reasoning problems.
-Form numbers correctly and record their methods clearly.
-Are proficient in the key vocabulary set out in our mathematics curriculum and use this when explaining their understanding or methods.
-Are taught using concrete resources and pictorial representations before moving onto abstract methods.
-Are able to independently choose the resources and methods which will support them to solve problems and calculations efficiently.
-Know how the study of Mathematics applies, and is relevant to, their everyday life through engaging with real-life contexts.
-Leave Hollickwood fully prepared for the maths they will encounter in secondary school, and later in their lives.
