Maths

Our aim at The Meadows Primary Academy is to ensure that our Math’s curriculum is tailored so that children have the support, opportunity and thirst of knowledge to develop into competent and confident Mathematicians. Throughout their life at The Meadows, children will embed vital skills and processes that are required to use their knowledge in a variety of contexts. Our approach strives to ensure children become fluent, using fundamental and basic principles, and through mathematical talk, which is used continuously and consistently, children can develop the ability to articulate their thinking. Ultimately, this will further develop mathematical reasoning and vocabulary. By using problem solving in every lesson, where pupils are challenged to difficult and complex ideas, it allows us to build resilient and independent learners. Through the teaching of Mathematics, children are provided with the opportunity to develop not only their ability to collaborate with others but also their independence. Pupils understand the importance of Mathematics which will provide the foundations for understanding the world and give a sense of enjoyment and curiosity. We aim to develop children’s aspirations by using mathematics to solve real life problems, so they can transfer learnt skills later in life and by the end of Key Stage Two, children will leave our school prepared for the next step in their mathematical education.
