Mathematics Statement of Intent
At Boreham Primary School, we recognise that mathematics is a fundamental life skill and we encourage children develop a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards mathematics that will stay with them throughout their lives.
Therefore, as a school, we aim to provide the pupils with a mathematics curriculum, high quality teaching and use of effective resources so that we develop individuals who are numerate, inquisitive, and confident. At Boreham Primary School, maths is about exploring, mastering skills in counting and developing an understanding of number. It involves exploring shape and pattern, and measurement through activities which contextualise the skills and knowledge. Mathematics is about developing a curiosity in the world around us, and offering solutions to problems. It is also functional, aiming to develop skills which will enable greater independence as our learners grow.
