Mathematics 

At Blaby Stokes, our aim is to develop curious and creative mathematicians who thrive on investigating and exploring mathematical concepts and ideas, whilst developing a deep understanding and love of the subject. 

We follow a Teaching for Mastery approach, believing that mastering a mathematical concept is achievable for all children, focusing on deep and sustained learning, making connections and developing reasoning alongside procedural and conceptual fluency. 

We foster a growth mindset culture and our maths teaching and learning is underpinned by the following key messages: 

• Everyone can learn maths to the highest level. 
• Mistakes help us to learn; never be afraid to make mistakes. 
• Asking great questions deepens our understanding. 
• Maths is about being creative and making connections. 
• Maths is about being fluent and flexible. 

• Understanding maths is much more important than how fast you are. 
• The steps that you take when finding the answer are just as important as the answer itself.
