At Hemlington Hall Academy, Mathematics is a creative and enjoyable subject. We strongly believe that Maths is essential to everyday life, it is critical to science, technology and engineering, and provides children with life skills needed in the wider world after leaving primary education and beyond. With this is mind, we offer our children at Hemlington Hall Academy a high-quality mathematics education which provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
Intent
- All children to be fluent, brave and logical mathematicians who display a love for the subject and understand its ‘real life’ value.
- That children become ‘elegant’ mathematicians: children are able to manipulate and transfer their knowledge, being able calculate and solve problems in the most efficient way. Always starting from “What do I see? What do I notice? What do I know?”
- All children will be secure in the key age related content ensuring they are able to build learning progressively from year to year. Children will be ‘key stage ready’.
- We believe that all children, when introduced to a new concept, should have the opportunity to build competency by taking the approach of understanding concrete, pictorial representations first to support children’s abstract methods.
- To use the outdoor environment effectively to bring mathematical concepts to life.
- To use data effectively to support children’s next steps in learning and to address any refinements needed to curriculum content and plans.
