At Bradford Academy we see maths very much as a cross curricular, interconnected subject which should encourage creativity. We want the children to see maths as being relevant to their world and applicable to everyday life as well as being something that they will need as they move on through their school life and ultimately to the world of employment. To that end, a high-quality, inter-related and creative maths experience should be one that develops the children’s ability to think mathematically and one which allows them to apply the tools to which they have been exposed in a variety of ways.
At Bradford Academy we ensure that all children become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics. All children will be able to reason and explain mathematically and all children are able to solve problems by applying their knowledge and making connections.
Staff are well trained and regularly monitor children’s progress to ensure that they are engaged in activities that develop their skills and help them grow in confidence. Staff provide many and varied opportunities for children to develop their speech through careful questioning and a range of interesting activities. Children are safe and happy and play well together.
