Our Maths Curriculum at Maltese Road is designed to ensure that children are taught to become competent mathematicians who can explain their reasoning and show their understanding using a variety of different representations whilst continually repeating key basic skills. In line with the 2014 National Curriculum for Maths, we work to ensure that all children become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, are able to reason mathematically and can solve problems by applying their mathematics.

 At Maltese Road, we strive to embed the skills and processes necessary to enable children to use and apply their maths learning in a variety of contexts.  We aim to develop children’s enjoyment of maths and provide opportunities for children to build a conceptual understanding of maths as well as apply their knowledge to everyday problems and challenges. Our approach to the teaching of mathematics develops children's ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Through mathematical talk and reasoning, children will develop the ability to articulate and discuss their thinking. Within our school, the skills are embedded within maths lessons and developed consistently over time.  By teaching maths through a mastery approach, we aim for children to achieve the deep and deepest levels or learning.

We are committed to ensuring that children are able to recognise the importance of maths in the wider world and that they are also able to use their mathematical skills and knowledge confidently in their lives in a range of different contexts. By the end of Key Stage Two, children will leave our school prepared for the next step in their mathematical education.
