Maths

In The Weald Federation, our mathematics curriculum is designed to develop children who are confident, agile mathematicians. We aim to help our children to understand the role of maths in everyday life, how it can be life-enriching and enable them to make a positive contribution to society. Mathematics is an interconnected subject and we want our pupils to be able to move fluently between representations of mathematical ideas. Our curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced to ensure that all pupils develop sufficient skills and knowledge to reason and problem solve with increasing fluency and independence, ensuring that they are ready for the next stage of their learning. Our aim is that pupils:become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, developing conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately; reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, generalising and justifying ideas using mathematical language; and can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of rich problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
