VISION & INTENT
At Meir Heath Academy, we believe that mathematics is essential to everyday life.
Teaching our pupils mathematics equips them with a powerful set of tools with which to understand and contribute to their world. These tools include: logical reasoning, problem-solving skills and the ability to think in abstract ways. It can stimulate moments of happiness and wonder when a child solves a problem for the first time, discovers a more efficient solution to a problem or suddenly sees hidden connections.
Our intention and implementation has been developed as a result of the National curriculum recognising maths as a mastery subject, and outlines how we, at Meir Heath Academy, will deliver a consistent approach to the teaching of mathematics across the school.




​
We aim to develop children who:
​
-
Have a positive attitude towards mathematics, becoming
-
mathematical risk-takers and develop an awareness of the
fascination of mathematics.
-
Are able to use and apply mathematics across the
curriculum.
-
Understand the relevance of their learning in mathematics
to real life situations.
-
Are competent and confident in mathematical knowledge,
concepts and skills.
-
Have the ability to solve problems, to reason, to think
logically and to work systematically and accurately.
-
Are able to carry out practical activities involving
calculation, measurement, shape, data handling and
money.
-
Develop an understanding of mathematics through a
process of enquiry and experiment.
-
Are able to communicate and articulate like mathematicians
