Maths

“Mathematics has beauty and romance. It’s not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It’s an extraordinary place; it’s worth spending time there.” – Marcus du Sautoy, British mathematician

At Bishop Perrin School, our learners will develop a deep and secure knowledge and understanding of mathematics at each stage of their learning so that by the end of every school year or key stage, they will have acquired mastery of the mathematical facts and concepts they have been exposed to, equipping them to move on confidently and securely to more advanced material. This approach allows for all children to succeed in maths with individualised support and challenge which is adapted as their knowledge and understanding changes over time. Children develop a concrete, pictorial and then abstract understanding of the curriculum and use a range of manipulatives to structure their conceptual knowledge which is then applied across the curriculum for example in Science, PE and Geography. Key number facts and times tables are taught robustly to support fluency which will enable deeper communication of their mathematical knowledge through reasoning and problem solving experiences. Children in the early years explore mathematical concepts through their play and carefully constructed child-initiated activities which consolidate their early number skills. Resilience, endurance and a growth mind-set are nurtured through a carefully constructed maths curriculum which enables all children to experience success, enabling them to celebrate their achievements and learn from and through their mistakes.
