Mathematics

At Hawksworth Wood Primary School, our mathematics curriculum is designed with three primary objectives in mind: to make maths memorable, meaningful, and manageable for our pupils.

 Our aim is to cultivate a deep understanding of mathematical concepts by making them memorable. From EYFS to Year 6, we provide interactive and engaging activities, games, and real-life scenarios to ensure that mathematical concepts stick in pupils’ minds. By creating memorable experiences, we aim to instil a lasting appreciation for the subject and its relevance in the lives of our pupils.

 Meaningful learning lies at the core of our mathematics curriculum. We strive to showcase the practical significance of mathematics in various contexts, emphasising its relevance beyond the classroom. By connecting mathematical concepts to real-world problems and situations, we aim to demonstrate how mathematics is an essential tool for solving everyday challenges.

 Additionally, our curriculum aims to make maths manageable for all pupils. We employ adaptive teaching strategies, practical resources, and tailored support to ensure that each student makes progress and is both supported and challenged. With a strong appreciation of the importance of fundamental mathematical concepts such as times tables, we dedicate teaching time to these vital skills to enable children to have the best foundation for making progress. Through this approach, we aim to build confidence, resilience, and a positive attitude towards mathematics in all our pupils.
