Curriculum overview for maths Intent The Oakfield maths curriculum is designed to equip pupils with a broad range of skills in using and applying mathematics, enabling them to understand important concepts and make connections. Our curriculum is underpinned by the acquisition of fluent knowledge and recall of number facts and the number system, along with confidence in performing accurate written and mental calculations and mathematical techniques. Pupils learn how to think independently and show initiative in a wide range of problem solving and reasoning contexts. They are encouraged to investigate and learn from mistakes, demonstrating perseverance and determination to succeed. The sequencing of the maths curriculum has been carefully planned to allow pupils to build on prior learning and make connections both within maths and across other subjects, ensuring that pupils know more and remember more.
