Mathematics at Katherine Semar Schools 

 Miss Munro and Mrs Farrant are our Maths leads.

 

At Katherine Semar Schools, we believe that every child can do Mathematics. A high-quality mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world and the ability to reason mathematically; it is essential to everyday life. These skills will engender a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the world in which we live. “Maths is the truly global language. With it, we convey ideas to each other that words can’t handle – and bypass our spoken Tower of Babel” (Professor Alison Wolf).

Our Mathematics curriculum is taught through the Mastery approach which enables all children to explore and deepen their understanding using fluency, variation, representation and structure, and mathematical thinking which is underpinned by coherence. Our children are encouraged to reason, and problem solve in every lesson. We highlight the importance of mathematics in everyday life, surrounding us in all that we do. The children are engaged and interested by mathematics in real-life contexts, making links across the curriculum, providing them with skills to prepare them for life as they grow.
