Maths Intent
At Saint Peter’s, our intent is to inspire a love and enjoyment of maths, providing opportunities for all children to succeed within an inclusive curriculum. We aim to develop a solid foundation for understanding number, reasoning, logical thinking and problem-solving with resilience, ensuring all children are fully prepared for the future.
Our curriculum is designed to:
- Develop declarative knowledge by embedding key facts and methods into long-term memory, allowing for fluency and automaticity in rapid recall.
- Enhance procedural knowledge to ensure students can apply methods accurately and efficiently.
- Secure a strong understanding of conditional knowledge so that students can make connections between key facts, facilitating reasoning and problem-solving.
We strive to ensure these elements of mathematics are embedded throughout all strands of the National Curriculum, fostering confident mathematicians who can reason mathematically, solve problems and articulate their understanding using precise mathematical language.
