*utilise and apply maths in practical activities, in real-life situations and in the context of work on number, calculations, data handling, measures, shape and space.

*grasp an intrinsic fascination of the subject and to perceive its role in the analysis and communication of information.

*reason and explain orally, utilising correct mathematical terminology.

*consolidate and improve their competence in numeracy,and

*show progress across each area of the programme of study for mathematics.

Our Objectives

In order to fulfil our aims our children will be taught and encouraged to,
*apply computation skills quickly in real, practical situations.
*understand key mathematical concepts and recall key facts quickly and accuratley.
*reason and explain their work logically
*become fluent in number, both in mental and written calculations.
*use mathematical diagrams, graphs and notation effectively to communicate findings and ideas to others.

For ages we have been making maths games.
My group was Olvia, Jay, Ben and me. We all chose Monopoly but we called it Mathopoly and it was so fun. We finshed in the end. We were getting very frustrated over it. We also decide to swap over our team leader. But I had fun.
