Kingsacre Primary School

Our aim is to equip all pupils with the skills and confidence to solve a range of real life problems through fluency with numbers and mathematical reasoning. Children are encouraged to see the mathematics that surrounds them every day and enjoy developing vital life skills in this subject.

Kingsacre Primary School Intent for Maths

At Kingsacre we are determined that:

• Every child will be numerate, regardless of their background, needs or abilities.
• All children will make sufficient progress to meet or exceed age-related expectations.
• Children are able to develop mathematical vocabulary, fluency and reasoning along with a love problem solving in relevant, real-life contexts. 
• Children understand that mathematics is all around us; it underpins much of what we do throughout our lives.
• Children are provided with experiences and learning activities that give opportunities for a deep understanding of maths - working at a mastery level in maths means that a child can apply their skills in solving a wide range of problems independently, applying them to cross-curricular themes and work in other subjects.
• All children develop the skills and processes necessary to use maths as part of their everyday lives - teaching skills in a context that provides purpose and meaning, making mathematical experiences enjoyable, practical, relevant and realistic.
• We provide experiences which enable our children to construct and develop their own understanding of mathematics and reasoning. 

We are proud to work closely with the Jurassic Maths Hub and follow their underlying principle for the teaching of mathematics:

The intention of teaching for mastery is to give all children access to equitable classrooms; classrooms where they can all participate and be influential, and classrooms where they are encouraged and supported to develop a deep connected and sustained understanding of the mathematics being explored.
