Our Intentions for Maths
At Ss Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School, we promote a ‘can do’ attitude in mathematics through enjoyable, engaging and enthusing lessons. We want to develop our children into confident and competent mathematicians who have a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. We understand the importance of mathematics in real life and provide children with many opportunities to apply their mathematical learning to a variety of contexts.
We intend to develop in all pupils:
- 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; and
- An understanding of the importance of mathematics in everyday life.
- Resilient learners with Growth Mindsets and a ‘We Can’ attitude to Mathematics, whatever their previous level of attainment.
