Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
At St Herbert’s Primary School, we aim to develop in children:
A positive attitude to mathematics as an interesting and valuable subject.
An understanding of mathematics through a process of enquiry, reasoning and problem solving.
A range of learning strategies: working both cooperatively, collaboratively and independently.
Confidence in mathematics where children can express ideas fluently and talk about the subject using mathematical language.
An understanding of the importance of mathematics in everyday life.
