Medway's Vision for Maths

We want all pupils to:

• Know that maths can be fun/entertaining e.g. puzzles, IT games, keeping score
• Know that maths helps them understand other subjects they study in school e.g. geographical and scientific data, dates/periods in history, measurements in D&T
• Know that maths can be useful for everyday living and work e.g. money, time, dates, measures, percentages, data about a wide variety of things
• *Have confidence and ability using, reasoning or asking questions about maths

• Have good recall of knowledge (addition/subtraction facts and multiplication/division facts etc.)
• Have effective/efficient calculation skills/methods
• Know/can use relationships between aspects of maths e.g. division, fractions, decimals, percentages
