Maths
At Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy, we adopt a mastery approach to mathematics, aiming to provide a curriculum that is both ambitious and accessible to all learners. We are committed to tailoring our maths curriculum to meet the diverse needs of every pupil, ensuring they have the opportunity to achieve ‘mastery’ by developing a deep and adaptable understanding of mathematical concepts. We encourage all children to strive for excellence, be their best and take pride in their accomplishments.
Through every mathematics lesson, children develop resilience and self-worth as they approach different challenges and celebrate their successes. Our youngest pupils begin their mathematical journey with a strong foundation in early number sense, supported by high-quality early teaching. This foundation equips them with the essential skills needed to confidently reason and solve mathematical problems.
Our intent is for every child to leave Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy as able and independent mathematicians, with the confidence and skills to calculate fluently, reason effectively and solve problems efficiently using appropriate mathematical vocabulary. Additionally, we aim for our pupils to support their peers and respect the mathematical knowledge and ideas shared by others.
All children are taught:
- To become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, so that they develop a conceptual understanding.
- Reason mathematically by justifying what they are doing using mathematical language.
- Solve problems, applying their mathematical knowledge.
Mathematics at Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy is integrated across the curriculum, such as applying statistics in geography and numbers in physical education, to enhance learning.
