Our intent at Parkdale is for every child to develop a love of Maths, believe in their own ability and understand that mistakes are a valuable part of learning. Through engaging and purposeful lessons, we aim to build confident, resilient mathematicians who can fluently recall key skills, reason mathematically and solve problems effectively. We encourage children to make connections across different areas of Maths, explain their thinking using accurate mathematical language and apply their learning in real-life contexts. By the end of KS2, we want pupils to confidently use the most efficient methods and justify their reasoning independently, leaving Parkdale as capable and enthusiastic mathematicians ready for the next stage of their learning.
