Subject Intent Statement:

Our aim is to nurture children ‘towards a better life’ by providing a richly inspiring curriculum, suitable for all. They will be motivated by their school experience to achieve their personal potential in readiness for the next chapter in their lives. We challenge children to strive for academic, creative, sporting and personal accomplishment within a broad and balanced curriculum. Our twelve core Values underpin everything we do within our inclusive school, where diversity is celebrated and children are taught to be members of the local, national and international community.

The 2014 National Curriculum for Maths aims to ensure that all children:

• Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics
• Are able to reason mathematically
• Can solve problems by applying their mathematics

At Maulden Lower school, these skills are embedded within Maths lessons and developed consistently over time. We are committed to ensuring that children are able to recognise the importance of Maths in the wider world and that they are also able to use their mathematical skills and knowledge confidently in their lives in a range of different contexts.

We make cross-curricular links with our termly topics. Through our Creative Curriculum, the teaching of mathematics is extended beyond the daily mathematics lesson. Links are made, where relevant and purposeful, between our topics and mathematics. This allows children the opportunity to apply mathematical skills and concepts, as well as enabling children to see that mathematics is part of everyday life.

We strive for all children to develop an enthusiastic, creative and resilient attitude towards mathematics and to experience success in the subject that will stay with them throughout their lives.
