Maths Intent, Implementation and Impact
Intent
At Summerfield Primary School, we want to instil in our pupils a love of Mathematics. We aim to engage student’s naturally curious minds and allow them to make their own mathematical discoveries while ensuring they gain the specific skillset needed to be confident mathematicians in the everyday world. Our students are encouraged to make strong links between distinct areas within Mathematics as well as across different curriculum subjects. This highlights the importance and presence Mathematics has across all aspects of learning and the wider world, preparing our pupils for its role in their future lives and careers. At Summerfield, our teaching is built upon embedding the three National Curriculum aims for Mathematics into daily practice:
- Fluency – children are expected to be fluent with their calculations and mathematical recall, allowing them to solve problems with increasing speed and accuracy.
- Reasoning – children should be able to use mathematical vocabulary confidently to explain their understanding of relationships between number, discuss hypotheses they have regarding numerical patterns and to justify generalisations they make.
- Problem Solving – children should be able to apply their mathematical understanding in a range of contexts. They should have the tools to persevere with breaking problems down to identify and select the correct methods needed to solve them.
