Parkend Primary School

Mathematics

Mathematics is an important creative discipline that helps us to understand the world. We want all pupils at Parkend School to experience the beauty, power and enjoyment of mathematics and develop a sense of curiosity about the subject.

At Parkend School, we foster positive ‘can do’ attitudes, believe all children can achieve in mathematics, and teach for a secure and deep understanding of mathematical concepts. We use mistakes and misconceptions as an essential part of learning and provide challenges through rich and sophisticated problems before acceleration through new content. These skills are embedded within Maths lessons and developed consistently over time. We link our Maths learning with our drivers Articulate Me, Creative Me, Knowing Me, Stronger Me, Future Me. 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.
