Maths
At the Wye Forest Federation (WFF) we recognise the importance of mathematics throughout each child’s every day and future life. Mathematics is an important discipline that helps us to understand and contribute to our ever-changing world. Our aim as a federation is that all pupils experience the power and enjoyment of mathematics and that we ignite a sense of curiosity about the subject. We want the children to see that maths is an interconnected subject, making connections across different areas of the wider curriculum.
Across our federation, we foster positive attitudes, teach for secure and deep understanding of mathematical concepts and believe all children should have a sense of achievement in mathematics. We use mistakes and misconceptions as a way to build resilience and see them as an essential part of learning - encouraging children to recognise them without fear of failure. We encourage children to show courage through solving problems and taking on mathematical challenges. We want children to feel confident about expressing their mathematical understanding through communication, collaboration and reflection.
