Maths at Orchard Fields

Intent

What are we are trying to achieve at Orchard Fields Community School?

We want ALL of our children to be confident, competent and independent mathematicians with no limits and endless ambitions, which will aid and assist them in whichever career path they take – as well as their everyday lives.
We want to deliver a structured, broad and opportunity-rich curriculum that follows the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum for mathematics.
We want to engage children of all abilities to ensure that they access the same quality of teaching and mathematical opportunities.
We want to develop a culture of mistake friendly classrooms – where children see their errors as opportunities to develop their understanding.
We want to develop and improve our children’s ability to articulate their thinking using the correct mathematical vocabulary.
We want our children to grow and develop into resilient and inquisitive learners.

We intend to achieve all of this: by teaching maths on a daily basis; by developing children’s mathematical fluency; by providing opportunities to reason mathematically; and by helping children to grow their problem-solving skills involving many areas of mathematics.
