‘Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.’ Albert Einstein

Through the ambition of our Mathematics curriculum our children leave Kingsholm as mathematicians. At Kingsholm, we believe that mathematics is best learnt through the children having a deep, conceptual understanding of a range of mathematical ideas and real enjoyment for mathematical learning. We believe it is important for children to not only be able to find the answers to problems but to also be able to explain their reasoning to enable them to become lifelong learners. Deepening children’s learning involves presenting the same content in many different contexts and through conceptual and procedural variation begin to understand concepts at a relational level rather than a set of procedures. This encourages children to make strong connections across mathematical concepts and solve problems. Through our mathematics curriculum, we will help children to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, reason mathematically and be able to solve problems.

The answer is only the beginning...
