Maths at Longsands

At Longsands, we aim to equip our pupils with the mathematical skills and knowledge necessary for life. We recognise that maths goes beyond being numerate. Through a maths mastery approach, pupils develop problem solving, logic and reasoning skills that set them up for a lifetime. We aim to instill a love of maths which will motivate pupils to be curious and confident problem solvers of the future in all walks of life.

All pupils access a high-quality maths curriculum that is both challenging and enjoyable. We adopt a concrete, pictorial, abstract approach to teaching and learning in order to develop a deep understanding of maths in all pupils. We encourage our children to be independent learners, who are not afraid to take risks, so they are able to solve non-routine maths problems without having to memorise procedures. We aim to provide our children with a variety of mathematical opportunities, which will enable them to make the connections needed to enjoy confidence and fluency in maths both at school and beyond.
