Mathematics

At Abingdon we believe that mathematics is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment.  We want our children to have a positive attitude towards mathematics and to recognise the subject both as a building block to success in life and as a source of fascination and enjoyment. 

We value a maths curriculum that is creative and engaging and provides opportunities for our children to develop the factual knowledge and skills to support them to become ‘deep thinkers’.  We want our children to know the purpose behind their learning and to be able to apply their knowledge to their everyday lives. 

Teaching of mathematics at Abingdon Primary school is underpinned by a belief in the importance of mathematics and a belief that most children can succeed in mathematics in line with national expectations for the end of each key stage.

At Abingdon we subscribe to the aims of the National Curriculum for mathematics to ensure that all pupils:

Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics

Are able to reason mathematically

Can solve problems
