Maths

'Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about UNDERSTANDING' - William Paul Thurston

Maths is a journey and long-term goal, achieved through exploration, clarification, practice and application over time. At each stage of learning, children should be able to demonstrate a deep, conceptual understanding of the topic and be able to build on this over time.

 There are 3 levels of learning:

• Shallow learning: surface, temporary, often lost 
• Deep learning: it sticks, can be recalled and used
• Deepest learning: can be transferred and applied in different contexts

 The deep and deepest levels are what we are aiming for by teaching Maths using the Mastery approach.

Our Curriculum Statement outlines our INTENT, how we will IMPLEMENT our curriculum and what IMPACT this will have on our Mathematicians at Chapelford Village Primary School.
