At Seabrook Primary School, our Mathematics Curriculum aims to provide a sequential, activity-based program which enables student learning through the provision of developmental experiences that relate to real life situations. In the PYP, mathematics is viewed as a vehicle to support inquiry, providing a global language through which we make sense of the world around us.
Mathematics provides students with access to important mathematical ideas, knowledge and skills that they will draw on in their personal and work lives. The curriculum also provides students, as life-long learners, with the basis on which further study and research in mathematics and applications in many other fields are built.
The Mathematics curriculum focuses on developing increasingly sophisticated and refined mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning, modelling and problem-solving. These capabilities enable students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing mathematics to make informed decisions and solve problems efficiently
Purpose
To develop in children a positive attitude and appreciation of mathematics as part of everyday life, that is useful, relevant and enjoyable.
