Mathematics

Maths is a powerful life tool and is a fundamental part of our everyday life. It’s almost impossible to get through a day without using it in some way, because our world is full of numbers to handle and problems to solve. Having a good understanding of maths helps children to make sense of it all, making life that little bit easier. At Brook Field, we believe in developing a positive attitude towards this subject and provide our children with the skills to think logically and work systematically.

The National Curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:

• Become fluent in the core areas of mathematics, recalling and applying knowledge rapidly and accurately
• Reason mathematically, exploring and investigating relationships and generalisations, as well as justifying mathematically using appropriate language
• Can persevere to solve complex problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of contexts, breaking down the problems into a series of simpler steps
