Maths
Intent Statement
At Christ Church primary school, we want all children to feel successful at mathematics. With a mastery approach, targeted interventions and a ‘small steps’ progressive curriculum, we believe that all children have the potential to deepen their understanding and achieve in mathematics. Mathematics needs to be a balance of fluency and reasoning and with high quality teaching and modelling, we aim to give children the skills to succeed at both.
The National Curriculum for mathematics 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.
