Maths at Blackwell

At Blackwell Primary School our core belief is that children’s chances of success are maximised if they develop deep and lasting understanding of mathematical procedures and concepts. We seek to ensure our pupils acquire a deep, long-term, secure, and adaptable understanding of the subject inspiring the mathematicians of the future. We endeavour to enthuse and ignite a love of maths through embedding maths throughout our curriculum. Developing pupil’s confidence in maths is key and pupils are provided with opportunities to make valuable links in their learning based on prior learning, personal experiences and across subjects. Through igniting what children already know we support the processing of information and aid the link between working and long-term memory.
