‘Mathematics is a place where you can do things that you can’t do in the real world.’ 

Marcus du Sautoy

Developing confident mathematicians is one of our core objectives of our curriculum at SMP.  We have a carefully planned curriculum that has been designed to ensure our pupils have strong number sense and an appreciation of the mathematical world around them.  

From the earliest stages in their maths education, our pupils are facilitated to explore mathematical concepts and vocabulary so that as they progress through each phase of their education, they are increasingly comfortable and assured learners.  The Mastering Number programme is pivotal in building children’s number fluency and confidence.  

Below, you can can find information about how we approach the teaching of Maths at SMP and find links to some of the online resources that we use to support our pupils’ learning journey.

At St. Matthew's we place a strong emphasis on pupils number fluency. That is why we implement the Matering Number programme from Reception onwards.
