At St Michael’s, we regard Mathematics as a reflection of God’s order and the intricacy of His creation. Our Mathematics Curriculum, aligned with the National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, is designed to spark curiosity, nurture logical thinking, and inspire a profound appreciation for the beauty of mathematical patterns and structures in God’s world.

Foundations in Key Stages 1 and 2

In Key Stage 1, children embark on an exciting journey into the world of numbers, shapes, and patterns. They explore fundamental concepts through engaging activities that highlight the coherence and precision of mathematics as a testament to God’s design. Through hands-on learning and practical applications, children develop a solid foundation in numeracy and a sense of wonder at the mathematical order in creation.

As children progress to Key Stage 2, our Mathematics curriculum broadens to include more complex concepts and problem-solving techniques. Children apply mathematical reasoning to real-world situations, fostering an understanding of how mathematics underpins various aspects of life and the universe. By engaging with diverse mathematical ideas, children gain insight into the logical and creative aspects of God’s handiwork.

Inspiration from God’s Creation

At St Michael’s, we believe that Mathematics reveals the precision and creativity of God’s creation. From the symmetry of shapes to the patterns in nature, children explore the marvels of mathematics as a language that describes the universe. Through studying Mathematics, children develop a sense of awe and wonder, recognizing the harmony and order in God’s design.

Our Commitment to Excellence in Mathematics Education

We are committed to providing an exceptional Mathematics education that equips children with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to navigate the complexities of our world. Our dedicated Mathematics teachers inspire children to engage with mathematical concepts deeply, fostering a passion for discovery and logical reasoning. By integrating diverse perspectives and promoting collaborative problem-solving, we encourage children to appreciate the universal nature of mathematics and its relevance to different cultures and viewpoints.

Inspiring Wisdom and Faith

At St Michael’s, Mathematics is not merely a study of numbers and equations but a journey of wisdom and faith. We encourage children to reflect on the logical and creative dimensions of mathematics, drawing connections between mathematical principles and the divine order of creation. Through exploring mathematical challenges and solutions, children develop a deeper appreciation for the intelligence and creativity inherent in God’s design, and a sense of responsibility to apply their mathematical understanding with integrity and compassion.

Through our Mathematics Curriculum, we celebrate the beauty and complexity of God’s creation, foster spiritual awareness, and empower children to become confident, analytical, and thoughtful individuals. At St Michael’s, our vision is to inspire a generation of children who embrace the discipline of mathematics, honor the legacy of mathematical thinkers, and strive to make a positive impact on our world for the glory of God.
