At St Stephen’s we believe that mathematics provides children with a powerful set of tools including logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and the ability to think in abstract ways. These tools enable children to view and make sense of the world, communicate their ideas and tackle a range of practical tasks and real-life problems.  Mathematics is not only taught because it is useful; we believe that it should be a source of delight and wonder, offering pupils intellectual excitement.  We aim to develop children’s mathematical skills and enthusiasm for the subject by providing a challenging and stimulating mathematics curriculum. 

Each half-term, pupils and home are provided with a booklet outlining what pupils are learning, how home can help, useful websites and the vocabulary we will be using. To see the history examples of these, click on the year group below.
