At Bridge House Independent School, our mathematics
curriculum carefully sequences knowledge, concepts
and procedures to build mathematical knowledge and
skills systematically over time. The mathematics
curriculum provides the foundation for understanding
the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an
appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics,
and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the
subject.

Our children have the ability to support, evaluate and
challenge their own and others’ views using detailed,
appropriate and accurate mathematical understanding.
Children develop a passion for mathematics and an
enthusiastic engagement in learning; they will become
avid thinkers and communicate their ideas confidently.

We aim for our children to become fluent in the basics
of mathematics, through varied and frequent practice
with increasingly complex problems over their time at
the school. We develop the children’s mathematical
reasoning by following lines of enquiry and using
mathematical language. We provide learners with
opportunities to solve problems by applying their
mathematical knowledge to break down problems into
a series of simpler steps and persevere in seeking
solutions.
