Mathematics
The National Curriculum for Mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
- become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics
- reason mathematically
- can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a range of problems.
At Eastwick Schools we use the Singapore approach to maths mastery.
