Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical languageĬan 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.Īt Deeping St James, these skills are embedded within Maths lessons and developed consistently over time. The National Curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:īecome fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. It is integral to all aspects of life and with this in mind we endeavour to ensure that children develop a healthy and enthusiastic attitude towards mathematics that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Mathematics is important in everyday life. These tools include logical reasoning, problem-solving skills and the ability to think in abstract ways. Mathematics equips pupils with a uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world. Our English Curriculum - Phonics and the Power of Reading.
