At Starcross Primary School, we aim to ensure that all children achieve a secure foundation in maths because it equips children with a set of essential tools for everyday life. Maths provides opportunities for intellectual excitement; it is a creative and imaginative study of patterns and relationships. We aim to develop confident, numerate individuals with a depth of understanding, and with the ability to use and apply their mathematical knowledge to solve everyday problems. Children should be able to reason, discuss and explain their understanding to others.
