Learning mathematical principles and applying them in a context presents learners some real challenges. The curriculum for mathematics for learners is broad in range, and deep in it's use; what does that mean for you and your child?

At it's simplest, we learn about mathematical ideas through 'real' experiences that can be shown, handled and used in practical life. From this 'concrete' foundation, we use procedures to create an order and process to use those ideas; the walls and rooms of our knowledge. Finally, and most difficultly, we create a 'roof' of conception that holds our knowledge and understanding together.

For many children, if any 'bricks' of understanding are missing or unstable, difficult concepts can be a problem to understand and critically apply. Our teaching is focused on building those foundations and using the bricks of understanding to provide our children with a solid home of mathematical understanding.  To help you understand our techniques so that you can support your child, these are our core areas of learning:
