Mathematics
Intent
Here at Bishop Monkton Primary, we want our pupils to become competent and confident mathematicians. We strive to embed the skills and processes necessary to enable pupils to use and apply their mathematics learning in a variety of contexts. By providing opportunities for children to build a conceptual understanding, develop their basic skills, fluency and recall, before applying their knowledge to everyday problems and challenges, we aim to develop pupils’ enjoyment of mathematics. Promoting mathematical talk enables children to articulate and discuss their thinking and reasoning, developing them as independent learners. Our pupils will leave Key Stage 2 prepared for the next step in their mathematical education.
