Maths at St Nicholas
Subject Leader: Mrs S Robb
Hello, my name is Mrs Robb. My role as Maths Subject Leader is to support our whole-school approach to Mathematics, where our children become fluent and reflective mathematicians with the essential skills to be successful and productive members of society.
I am passionate that our children develop a love of and feeling of success around mathematics and, as a result, secure a deep and sustained conceptual understanding of their learning. This is achieved through staff planning a range of exciting opportunities, in which children interact with mathematical concepts in different ways and see them from different dimensions.
The excitement and engagement in Maths at St Nicholas is infinite and it is a privilege to lead this subject’s journey across our school.
Introduction
|
Mathematics introduces children to concepts, skills and thinking strategies that are essential in everyday life and support learning across the curriculum. It helps children make sense of the numbers, patterns and shapes they see in the world around them, offers ways of handling data in an increasingly digital world and makes a crucial contribution to their development as successful learners. Children delight in using mathematics to solve a problem, especially when it leads them to an unexpected discovery or new connections. As their confidence grows, they look for patterns, use logical reasoning, suggest solutions and try out different approaches to problems. Mathematics offers children a powerful way of communicating. They learn to explore and explain their ideas using symbols, diagrams and spoken and written language. They start to discover how mathematics has developed over time and contributes to our economy, society and culture. Studying mathematics stimulates curiosity, fosters creativity and equips children with the skills they need in life beyond school. |
