Maths

Intent

At Red Hill, the mathematics curriculum provides a creative, innovative mathematics education that allows all children to learn and progress, whilst discovering their own interests and talents.

The overarching aims are designed to:

develop children’s mathematical understanding, such as core facts, concepts, methods and strategies including mathematical vocabulary and symbols.
equip children with skills of calculation, factual fluency and automatic recall, including mental methods, such as place value, number bonds and multiplication tables.
quickly address any mathematical misconceptions as they occur.
reason mathematically by following different lines of enquiries and to develop an argument, justification, or proof using mathematical language.
enable children to solve problems logically by applying their mathematical knowledge across different subjects within the curriculum and to help them within the wider world.

Our intention is that children build on their resilience and independence during meaningful learning experiences so that they feel positive and confident with their mathematical skills. Our curriculum is intended to develop the skills set out in the National Curriculum as well as to nurture a sense of curiosity about mathematics.
