MATHEMATICS

At RNSF our aim is for children to be confident to ‘play’ with numbers, to become critical thinkers and independent problem solvers. Mathematics is part of our everyday lives and we believe it is essential to engage children in a curriculum where they absorb new skills, make connections and solve mathematical problems independently. We inspire the children with a hands-on approach to mathematics in which children are given varied opportunities to explore and make connections with real life situations.  Every day children practise their fluency in a mathematical context through recalling information, identifying numbers and describing patterns. They learn to recall number facts, make predictions, interpret data and become confident when explaining about their reasoning. They discover problems, analyse data, evaluate their findings, create their own mathematical mysteries and flourish in a wealth of rich mathematical opportunities.
