Maths
At MPS we aim to ensure that children
are confident and enthusiastic in their
approach to maths and have quick and
agile mental maths skills. We encourage
children to develop maths skills that
enable them to explore and solve
problems encountered in the 'outside
world'. Our maths curriculum teaches
and develops a logical approach to
solving problems and develops mental
strategies, which again are valuable in
everyday life.
ICT is used to develop maths skills and
the understanding of numerical concepts
further. The majority of maths taught at
Mickleover Primary School is done
through a daily maths lesson, linked to
the New National Curricul um where
children explore the key concepts of
place
value,
number,
geometry,
measures, statistics and reasoning.
Children are also encouraged to make
links between these areas and other
areas of the curriculum.
