Maths
Subject Overview
At Hill Avenue Academy, our vision is to create confident mathematicians who become fluent in all areas of maths. Our curriculum will enable pupils to develop a deep and connected understanding of mathematics through a mastery-based curriculum that is broad, balanced and engaging.
​
We firmly believe in developing an environment that promotes a love of learning whereby pupils develop a positive and resilient attitude towards mathematics, so they become life-long learners.
​
We expose children to a range of learning opportunities that provide pupils with an ability to solve problems, to reason, to think logically and to work systematically and accurately. Whenever possible, we want to explore mathematics in various ways with our pupils, so they fully understand and remember what they have been taught.
We aim to develop competence in mathematical knowledge and skills so that our pupils identify the ‘bigger picture’ of maths and fully grasp how key concepts are important in every-day life.
​
Our curriculum will create independent learners who are able to talk openly and confidently about maths and explain how they have solved problems. We encourage pupils to communicate their ideas using precise mathematical language and explain their reasoning. We will encourage success and a sense of achievement so that the pupils at Hill Avenue Academy want to learn maths and thrive in doing so.
