At Camp Hill Primary School, we view mathematics as a tool for everyday life. Mathematics teaches us how to make sense of the world around us through developing a child’s ability to calculate, to reason and to solve problems.
Through our work at school, we hope the children will gain the knowledge and understanding to confidently use these skills in their everyday lives.
At Camp Hill Primary School our aims for the children are:-
To become 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.
To reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
To 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. (New National Curriculum 2014)
