We are aiming to be amazing mathematicians. We are learning to be masters of number, fluent in the fundementals, analytical thinkers and confident enough to use our maths knowledge to reason and problem solve. 

Maths at Bickershaw Church of England Primary School 

Intent:

Our overarching aim of Maths at Bickershaw Church of England Primary School is to give children the skills and confidence they need to work with numbers. We want to harness the children’s natural curiosity to learn about the world around them and give them skills and knowledge to enable them to solve mathematical problems and think logically. At Bickershaw, Maths is about exploring patterns in number, mastering skills and developing a deep understanding of the number system. Maths is about investigating shape, measures and statistics. Our children develop the skills, knowledge and efficient methods of calculation necessary to support them as adults and with problem solving in life.

Drivers:

Our Maths curriculum will be underpinned by the drivers of heritage, initiative and possibilities.

  1. Heritage - Understanding about the world around them and how our knowledge of number as evolved from ancient civilisations.
  2. Initiative - Develop the skills to be critical and independent thinkers when solving problems and making decisions about which method to use.
  3. Possibility - By learning the necessary skills for Maths, our children will be more prepared for adulthood and will have a range of possibilities open to them including access to careers that require knowledge of mathematical concepts.
