Mathematics isn't just about numbers on a page—it's a way to unlock puzzles, spot patterns, and solve real-world challenges. At St Mary's, we believe maths can be as captivating as a great story, with every problem offering a new adventure and every solution a reason to celebrate.
Our classrooms buzz with hands-on activities, games, and collaborative projects that bring maths to life. Whether you're measuring ingredients for a recipe, designing a pattern, or investigating the mysteries of shapes and space, maths helps students make sense of the world around them—and have a blast while doing it!
Our BCE Curriculum, focuses on developing strong numeracy skills for all students. The curriculum encourages creative thinking, logical reasoning, and practical problem-solving. Students explore core numeracy elements, including:
- Understanding Numbers: Building confidence with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages.
- Algebra and Patterns: Spotting relationships and making predictions based on data, equations, and sequences.
- Measurement and Geometry: Investigating length, area, volume, and angles—skills used in everyday life, from building cubby houses to creating art.
- Statistics and Probability: Learning to collect, organise, and interpret data, and make informed decisions about chance events.
Our approach ensures every child is supported to grow as a confident mathematician, ready to tackle future learning and life's practical challenges. We celebrate curiosity, encourage questioning, and inspire every student to find joy in mathematics—because at St Mary's, maths is for everyone and maths is fun!
