MATHEMATICS

Mathematics intent, implementation and impact statement 
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
  • become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
  • reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
  • can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Mathematical intent
At North Tawton we intend to:
The intent of our mathematics curriculum is to design a curriculum, which is accessible to all and will maximise the development of every child’s ability and academic achievement. We deliver lessons that are creative and engaging. We want children to make independently rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning, understanding of mathematical language and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. We intend for our pupils to be able to apply their mathematical knowledge to the wider curriculum and world.
We want them to know that Mathematics is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and all forms of employment. When children leave our school, we intend for our pupils to be able to understand the world, have the ability to reason mathematically and to confidently explain their mathematical understanding through the use of images and precise mathematical language.
Mathematical implementation
At North Tawton we are outward looking and creative in our approach to implementing a high quality mathematics curriculum. Our implementation is developed through secure understanding of the curriculum and subject area. 
​Mathematical impact
Our aim at North Tawton is to build a whole culture of deep understanding, confidence and competence in maths – a culture that produces strong, secure learning and real progress.
We aim to shape assured, happy and resilient mathematicians who relish the challenge of maths. They will become independent, reflective thinkers, whose skills not only liberate them in maths but also support them across the curriculum.
