Maths

Our Mathematics curriculum is a rigorous exploration of the vision "with God all things are possible," revealing the hidden patterns and infinite possibilities within the language of the universe. We build wisdom by training pupils to think logically, reason deeply, and apply mathematical structures to solve real-world problems with precision. It takes great courage to grapple with complex abstractions, to persevere through "the pit" of a difficult problem, and to see every mistake as a vital step toward a breakthrough. This journey of discovery leads to a profound sense of joy, as the "lightbulb moment" of understanding ignites a sense of awe and wonder, proving to every child that they possess the potential to master even the most challenging concepts.

 

A detailed curriculum is mapped out across all year groups to support transition and ensure pupils acquire and demonstrate a sufficient grasp of the mathematics relevant to their year group. All pupils are expected to master each key point before moving to the next stage. Carefully crafted lesson design provides a step-by-step conceptual journey through the mathematics, engaging pupils in reasoning and the development of mathematical thinking

 

Our aims in teaching Mathematics are that all children will: - 

  • Become fluent in the fundamentals of Mathematics;
  • Be able to reason mathematically;
  • Solve problems by applying their Mathematics;
  • Have a deep understanding of the mathematics they are learning so that future mathematical learning is built on solid foundations which not need be retaught;
  • Develop a growth mindset - that we can all be mathematicians.
