The Aims of the Mathematics National Curriculum
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
Mathematics Intent
AT BROOKFIELD PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL WE WANT OUR PUPILS TO:-
*develop a positive and confident attitude towards mathematics.
* become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time.
*develop conceptual understanding
*develop the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
* reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
* solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
