<h2>Mathematics</h2>
<p>Mathematics is a core subject as it develops fundamental skills and strategies for tackling everyday problems and tasks. At our school, we aim to take the fear factor out of mathematics and allow our children to develop confidence with numbers, recognising the importance of developing their skills to enable them to approach and solve real-life problems. We help our children to use and apply their mathematical skills through problem solving in number work, shape activities, measuring activities and by looking at graphs and data. We also encourage our children to develop a range of flexible strategies for mental calculations through a variety of activities, games, investigations and discussions. Most importantly, we want our children to experience the excitement of learning maths and to see that ‘Maths is Fun!!'</p>
<p>We believe in the importance of parents as the child's first educator and have run a number of parents courses where they work with their children to develop mathematical skills. We are committed to this initiative and would like to thank all who have taken part and look forward to working with more partents in the future.</p>
