Rationale

We strive to equip pupils with the mathematical skills and knowledge that they will take with them to solve problems throughout their lives. Using a centralised approach, our pupils access a carefully sequenced and ambitious curriculum, accompanied by high-quality teaching, maximising the proficiency of the skills they learn in order to gain a meaningful understanding of the world around them.   

At The Bridge School, we aim for all of our pupils to become functional learners by engaging with their environment. Through multisensory exploration, they can begin to develop their understanding of their experiences and discover how they can interact with and influence the world around them. The mathematics curriculum supports the development of pupils' early foundational concepts, including cause and effect and object permanence. As pupils develop proficiency in early mathematical skills, the curriculum systematically develops the small-step component parts that comprise composite skills in number, measurement and geometry.

We endeavour to provide a wide range of inclusive opportunities that allow pupils to develop their declarative (I know that), procedural (I know how) and conditional (I know when) knowledge in a variety of practical, enjoyable and meaningful contexts. Teaching and learning opportunities are engaging and relevant to the pupil, promoting the acquisition of ‘forward facing’ metacognitive knowledge.
