Mathematics
Intent:
At Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School we believe the habits of thinking mathematically are life-enriching. Through the teaching of Mathematics, we teach children how to make sense of the world around them by developing their ability to calculate, reason and solve problems. Our aim is for children to understand the relationships and patterns in both number and space in their everyday lives. We view Maths as a creative and highly interconnected subject essential to everyday life, Science, Technology and Engineering, and necessary for most forms of employment. It is vital to be numerate to participate fully in society and democratic processes. At Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School we ensure that every young person, regardless of background, has a rich and meaningful Mathematics education.
Through the teaching of Mathematics, our aims are:
- Success for all - Every child can enjoy and succeed in Mathematics. A supportive environment enables pupils to develop resilience and confidence.
- Deeper understanding - Pupils must be given time and opportunities to fully explore Mathematical concepts. They use metacognition and a structured build based on prior learning to generate new success.
- Problem-solving - Identifying, applying and connecting ideas enables pupils to tackle new and more complex problems. These create a sustainable connection between theory and the real world.
- Mathematical language - Mathematical language strengthens conceptual understanding by enabling pupils to explain and reason.
- Multiple representations – Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract approach (CPA) is a highly effective approach to teaching that develops a deep and sustainable understanding of maths in pupils.

Our chicks are enjoying their new home on Miss Smith’s farm. They are old enough to move from the brooder box now but will need to stay inside for a little longer. Keep an eye out for more updates!
