Irresistible Math Curriculum

By the time children leave Polegate School, we want them to have positive and resilient attitudes towards maths and be equipped with the essential numeracy skills that make them secondary ready and ready for the wider world.

Through irresistible learning, we aim to broaden children’s knowledge and understanding of how maths is used in the wider world and to prepare them for their future.

At Polegate Primary School we aim to:

1. Develop a positive attitude to maths as an interesting and attractive subject in which all children gain some success and pleasure;
2. Develop mathematical understanding through systematic direct teaching of appropriate learning objectives.
3. Encourage the effective use of maths as a tool in a wide range of activities and subjects within school and, subsequently, adult life.
4. Develop an ability in the children to express themselves fluently, to talk about the subject with assurance, using correct mathematical language and vocabulary
5. Develop an appreciation of relationships within maths;
6. Develop ability to think clearly and logically with independence of thought and flexibility of mind.
7. Develop mathematical skills and knowledge by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems in real life context
