Holly Hill Primary and Nursery School
Maths
Our Intent Statement
At Holly Hill we believe that a quality Mathematics curriculum should be instrumental in helping our students to understand and engage with the world, become creative thinkers and problem solvers and become increasingly excited and prepared for all their possible futures in education and work.
The mathematics curriculum at Holly Hill enables children: to make connections across and within mathematical concepts and between mathematics, the real world and other subjects, so that they develop contextual understanding and an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics; to be inspired, creative and curious, building enjoyment and confidence in themselves as mathematicians and successful learners; to reason and think critically to solve increasingly intriguing problems and to develop the language to speak and discuss mathematics clearly with others.
Through our mathematics curriculum we make links to our whole school curriculum intent statement. The aspects which are particularly significant to Maths are
- Balance of knowledge and skills
- Rich vocabulary
- Experiences and opportunities
- Preparation for adult life and work
