Maths Overview

 

Welcome to Mathematics at Intack Primary School!

We are delighted to welcome you to our Mathematics page!

At Intack Primary School, we believe that every child can be successful in Maths. We want our pupils to develop secure mathematical knowledge and skills, while becoming confident, resilient and enthusiastic mathematicians.

Teaching for Mastery

At Intack, we teach Mathematics using a mastery approach. This means that all children are given the opportunity to develop a deep and secure understanding of mathematical concepts, rather than simply learning procedures or memorising facts.

We believe that all children can achieve in Mathematics. Children are supported to understand the why as well as the how, making connections between different areas of Maths and applying their knowledge to a range of problems and situations.

We use a carefully structured approach to learning, allowing children to build on their prior knowledge and develop their understanding step by step. We provide opportunities for children to explore, reason, explain, make connections and solve problems, while ensuring that appropriate support and challenge are available for every learner.

Our aim is for children to become fluent, confident and independent mathematicians who are not afraid to make mistakes and learn from them.
