Curriculum Intent Statement

Maths

At St Leonard’s CE Primary Academy our intent for Mathematics is to teach a rich, balanced and progressive curriculum using Maths to reason, problem solve and develop fluent conceptual understanding in each area. We aim to inspire all children to reach their full academic potential.

In Mathematics, this means ensuring a curriculum that is fully inclusive of all children which:

• Develops children’s knowledge and understanding of Mathematical concepts whilst enabling them to practice and sharpen skills and methods.
• Enables them to think critically and communicate their understanding.
• Gives them opportunities to apply learnt mathematical skills in different contexts across the curriculum.
• Provides opportunities to develop problem-solving skills useful for maths and across the curriculum.

Our curriculum allows children to better make sense of the world around them relating the pattern between mathematics and everyday life.
