Mathematics
"Maths keeps me on the edge of my seat!"
"Maths helps me with life skills!"
Intent
At Great Kimble, we want to ensure we are developing mathematicians for the future and instil skills and knowledge that can be used throughout their lives. Our aim is to provide all children with the knowledge and tools needed in order to progress from EYFS to Year 6 and to allow pupils to transition to secondary school as flexible, confident, well-rounded and passionate mathematicians who have a love and curiosity for the subject. Our aim, through a ‘Maths Mastery’ approach, is to provide varied and high-quality teaching and learning with a focus on recall and fluency, problem solving and reasoning using concrete, abstract and pictorial resources. We want to provide opportunities for all of our children to ensure sustained progress in maths and that all children have the tools needed to learn successfully and succeed in spite of background or ability. We encourage an atmosphere where mistakes are valued, growth mindset is seen as part of the learning journey, and everyone is challenged and given opportunities to deepen their understanding.
