At Castlecroft Primary School, we want to nurture a love and enjoyment of mathematics in all of our children so that they are keen to explore different concepts and so discover the wonder of mathematics and how it links to the world around them. The intent of our Mathematics curriculum at Castlecroft Primary School is for pupils to develop into confident mathematicians. Our Mathematics curriculum is designed to equip our pupils with the mathematical knowledge and skills they need to become fluent and competent in the basics of mathematics, developing their ability to calculate, reason and problem solve. Ultimately, we want all our pupils to develop a deep conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts. Mathematics is important: it is integral to all aspects of life and we view mathematics as a creative and highly interconnected subject essential to science, technology and engineering and necessary for most forms of employment. With this in mind, we endeavour to ensure that children develop a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards Mathematics that will stay with them. We also believe that Mathematics teaches our children resilience. We encourage all our children to reach their full potential and be aspirational through an exciting and challenging, carefully sequenced Mathematics curriculum
