Maths

 

Mathematics equips pupils with a uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world. These tools include logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and the ability to think in abstract ways. Mathematics is important in everyday life, seen in many forms of employment; maths and technology, medicine, the economy, the environment and development. Mathematics is a creative discipline. It can stimulate moments of pleasure and wonder when a pupil solves a problem for the first time, discovers a more elegant solution to that problem, or suddenly sees hidden connections. We actively integrate the EYFS/development matters agenda throughout the learning and teaching of Mathematics – with specific reference to all children using their mathematical skills in order to achieve economic well-being.
