Maths

 

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.


Aims


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.

 

The Primary National Curriculum for Maths

 

Times tables 

 

Your child has a times tables target to support them in  learning their times tables and division facts 

As part of our Multiflyers scheme, your child has a times tables target to support them in learning their times tables and division facts 

They will be tested on this once a week. Once they have achieved 90% or more on a stage, they will advance to the next one on a mission to complete their whole Multiflyers journey!
