Mathematics Curriculum Statement of Intent

At Chudleigh CE VC Community Primary School, our mathematicians are provided with a rich, balanced and progressive curriculum, using mathematics to reason, problem solve and develop fluent conceptual understanding in each area. Children are encouraged to make connections between the different areas of maths, and to see that making mistakes and learning from them is how they extend and deepen understanding.

We want our children to take ownership of their mathematical learning and to be able to apply their skills across into other areas of our enquiry-led curriculum. It is important that they are given real life contexts for their learning so that they are not simply learning maths but seeing its impact upon their daily life. 

Mathematics across the school shows clear progression in line with age related expectations. Appropriate levels of challenge are given to every child, and for those who are identified as needing additional support, opportunities are given for revisiting learning where needed.

We aim to deliver an enjoyable and engaging curriculum where children develop their knowledge, understanding and confidence to be able to take risks and become more confident mathematicians.
