Maths
At Booker Hill School, we believe that mathematics equips pupils with a uniquely powerful set of tools, and develops an ability to calculate, reason and solve problems. It enables children to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in both number and space in their everyday lives. We believe that maths should be purposeful and children are made aware of its importance in real-life contexts.
Aims
We wish to develop:
- A growth mindset towards the subject of mathematics
- A positive attitude towards mathematics
- Learners who are resilient and embrace challenge
