Mathematics Learning Journey
Vision (Intent)
“Every child can achieve regardless of their starting points”
In maths, we want every pupil from KS2 to KS4 to have the same opportunity to fulfil their academic potential. Our aim is for all pupils to think mathematically, enabling them to reason, solve problems and assess risk in a range of contexts whilst also making their learning purposeful and relevant to everyday life.
Our creative Mathematics Mastery curriculum has been developed and personalised to ensure that every child can achieve excellence in mathematics. Pupils can explore their sense of curiosity as they solve a problem, discover different solutions and make links between different areas of mathematics. It provides pupils with a deep understanding of the subject through a concrete, pictorial and abstract approach giving them a varying opportunity throughout their learning journey.
Above all, we want to create resilient students who have the confidence to acquire and use mathematical skills that will stand them in good stead throughout their lifetime.
We will continually review and revise the mathematics program based on new developments in mathematics education and on research regarding how students learn.
End Points (Impact)
- Students will have the confidence to solve mathematical problems in everyday life.
- Students will be able to use mental maths problem solving skills to respond to daily situations.
- Positive attitude and enjoyment towards using numbers and mathematical skills.
- Students will leave Heritage Park and Holgate Meadows with a formal qualification in maths.
- Pupils will be given equal opportunities to gain different qualifications in maths.
