| Our Vision for Mathematics
Statement of Intent
|
At Moor Nook, we aim to provide an inspiring curriculum that enables all children to be confident and fluent in the fundamentals of Mathematics. Through facilitating in depth understanding, children will be able to apply their knowledge and understanding to tackle rich and complex practical and abstract reasoning and problem-solving. We strive to ensure that all children enjoy Maths and know the importance of this subject in the wider world and their life outside of school. |
| Aims | Throughout their education at Moor Nook, we aim for our children to: • Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. • Reason mathematically by developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language. • Solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems. • Recognise and apply the Mathematical ‘links’ between different areas within the curriculum. |
At Moor Nook CP School we follow the AET Curriculum, which mirrors that of the 2014 National Curriculum for Mathematics:
- To become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
- To reason mathematically by developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
- To solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems.
The Moor Nook Mathematics Curriculum is made up of 15 units, which are followed in this order throughout the year.
