Mathematics

 "Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe." - Galileo Galilei.

 

At St George’s, we inspire the children to become confident and independent mathematicians. We aim to develop children’s enjoyment of maths and equip them for a numerate world.

We believe that mathematics teaches children how to make sense of the world around them through developing their ability to calculate, reason and solve problems. Children’s achievement will be demonstrated by their ability to show fluency in Mathematical skills and facts, and also by their ability to apply their skills in investigations and problem-solving situations. 

We believe that children can consolidate their learning by working collaboratively on rich investigational activities which will inspire a keen interest and enthusiasm for the subject.

In addition to delivering the National Curriculum, we enrich the curriculum through links with Maths in the real world, a trip to an engineering site and studies in Financial Literacy.
