Mathematics
Our Maths Curriculum
At Telford Junior School, we aim to prepare children for the future by providing opportunities for a broad, balanced and deep understanding of Maths and how it is essential to everyday life. We endeavour to ensure that children develop an enjoyment and enthusiasm for Maths, by providing opportunities to learn and practise skills in an active and practical way and through careful consideration of pairings and groupings. We challenge and support all children through carefully planned sequences of lessons, which develop fluency with number facts and operations and gives them the skills to reason mathematically and solve increasingly sophisticated routine and non-routine problems. Children learn to use and apply their mathematical knowledge, language and skills in other curriculum areas and in real-life situations.
