Maths Curriculum Overview

Mathematics is an essential tool in our daily lives, providing a framework for understanding the world. It helps us analyse and communicate information, as well as address practical tasks and real-world problems.

Through mathematics, children learn to navigate their surroundings by enhancing their skills in calculation, reasoning, and problem-solving. As both a core and creative subject, mathematics has numerous connections to other disciplines, yet it is most effectively taught as a standalone subject, using real-world contexts to practice these skills. At Naima, we aim for our students to grasp the purpose of their learning and to apply their knowledge in everyday situations.

Our goal is to ensure that every child develops:

• A positive attitude toward mathematics and a genuine enjoyment of the subject.
• Competence and confidence in mathematical knowledge, concepts, and skills.
• The ability to solve problems and think logically.
• Initiative and the capability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Skills to apply mathematics across the curriculum and in real-life scenarios.
