‘I CAN do it!’ attitude to Maths at Pitmaston

At Pitmaston we want children to develop a passion for Maths and enjoy the rich, balanced and progressive curriculum on offer.  We view Maths as a creative discipline that is an essential aspect to everyday life, critical to Science, technology and engineering. In our school we use Maths to reason, problem solve and develop fluent conceptual understanding in each area of the Maths programmes of study that children can also apply to other areas of the curriculum, such as Science. Children become fluent in the fundamentals of Maths due to the structured curriculum, starting in the Early Years. This supports the ability to reason mathematically and develop an appreciation and sense of enjoyment and curiosity across Maths and other related disciplines.

We provide children with a foundation of understanding number, reasoning, thinking logically whilst building resilient, motivated and reflective learners through an, ‘I Can do it!’ attitude, ensuring they are fully prepared for the future. The teaching and learning is frequently reviewed to ensure that it is ambitious, current and effective in meeting all learners’ needs and that teachers are supported in the delivery of a progressive Mathematics curriculum from EYFS to Year 6.
