Maths

VISION:
Mathematics at Ryders Hayes aims to give children the best start to their experiences of Maths by making it an enjoyable subject that prepares children for Mathematics in everyday life. Everything that is taught earlier builds solid foundations for Maths taught later in the curriculum.

PRINCIPLES:

EXPLORE: Create awe and wonder about the world of Maths around us.
PLAY: Allow children to investigate their own questions with practical resources.
DEVELOP: Give opportunities for children to explain and share their ideas and findings.
LINK: Inspire and support every single child to find out more with children creating their own mathematical problems. Recognise the importance of retrieval of key skills.

So that all children are:
Resourceful and engaged in purposeful play using key vocabulary and asking questions.
Resilient when facing a problem.
Reciprocal and can share their ideas by listening and explaining.
Reflective and use their knowledge and skills to make links with other areas.

AWE:
Children grow up understanding what Maths is and what it means to them in their everyday lives; have the skills they need to succeed in Maths subjects in further and higher education; develop important life-skills in relation to the world in which they live; and have high aspirations for their future careers.
