MATHEMATICS
Our aims are to encourage the children to
think mathematically to form sound concepts in number, all
forms of measurement, (length, weight, area, volume,
capacity, time) shape and data handling and to achieve
competence in working with numbers not only in written work
but to solve problems by using a range of mental strategies.
All children are timetabled everyday for
a Mathematics Lesson which is structured according to the
National Numeracy Strategy.
Parents Can Help By:
- Looking for and discussing with
their children Mathematical ideas in everyday things,
e.g. cooking, decorating etc.
- Counting with their children e.g.
objects, steps etc, using larger numbers as the children
progress up the school
- Allowing children to handle money
when shopping
- Playing number and counting games
e.g. Snakes and Ladders, cards
- Looking for different shapes,
weights, etc. when shopping with their children.
