In mathematics our children are taught number, shape and space, measures and data handling progressively. From the time they start school at Durdan’s Park our children are taught mathematics in a practical way providing a firm basis for future progression. When they have grounding in the basic skills and concepts, children are encouraged to use these in estimations, problem solving and investigations. This leads our pupils toward logical thinking and self-confidence as well as using mathematics in everyday life situations.

All of the above areas are taught through a structured daily mathematics lesson.  The lesson is supported by a good range of resources that include computers, calculators and measuring equipment.

Targets to further each child’s mathematical development are set regularly.
