St Luke's Vision for Maths
We want all children to be able to:
- believe that they can achieve well at mathematics and welcome the challenge to do so
- develop a fascination and love of numbers and spacial awareness
- become fluent and confident mathematicians
- explain their mathematical thinking clearly
- solve problems by reasoning
- apply their mathematical skills in a wide range of situations
- transfer to the next stage of their education having achieved age related goals so that they can be successful in their future lives
The Maths Mastery Approach
At St Luke's, we use a Maths Mastery Approach and Maths No Problem. Children are encouraged to develop fluency, reasoning and problem solving skills through a concrete pictorial approach. In lessons, children use Maths No Problem textbooks and workbooks. They also use concrete resources to ensure a depth of understanding. We make use of the NRICH Mathematics website resources for develop problem solving. Visit http://nrich.maths.org/frontpage
