Maths Curriculum Overview

At St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School, we aim to create a
sense of excitement and curiosity around mathematics. During
lessons, children are encouraged to make links between what
they are learning, what they already know and the world
around them. Mathematics is essential to everyday life and our
aim is to teach children to gain a greater understanding
through various approaches that empower children to select a
way that works for them. Children are introduced to the
processes of calculation through a wide range of practical,
mental and oral activities.
In lessons, the use of images and practical equipment is
central to introduce number concepts and methods of
calculation, including both mental and informal methods.
Children should be able to verbally explain and reason about
their learning before they record calculations. Our aim is to
enhance children’s understanding through rich vocabulary that
is appropriate to each lesson. Mental calculations should be
counterpart to written methods.
