Mathematics Intent
Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries,
providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to
science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A
high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a 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. (article 29)
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
• become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice
with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding
and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
• reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and
generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
• can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine
problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler
steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Mathematics is an interconnected subject in which pupils need to be able to move fluently between
representations of mathematical ideas. The programmes of study are, by necessity, organised into
apparently distinct domains, but pupils should make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop
fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. They
should also apply their mathematical knowledge to science and other subjects. (article 28)
The expectation is that the majority of pupils will move through the programmes of study at broadly the
same pace. However, decisions about when to progress should always be based on the security of pupils’
understanding and their readiness to progress to the next stage. Pupils who grasp concepts rapidly should
be challenged through being offered rich and sophisticated problems before any acceleration through new
content. Those who are not sufficiently fluent with earlier material should consolidate their understanding,
including through additional practice, before moving on.
At this stage, pupils should develop their ability to solve a range of problems, including with simple fractions
and decimal place value. Teaching should also ensure that pupils draw with increasing accuracy and
develop mathematical reasoning so they can analyse shapes and their properties, and confidently describe
the relationships between them. It should ensure that they can use measuring instruments with accuracy
and make connections between measure and number.
By the end of Year 4, pupils should have memorised their multiplication tables up to and including the 12
multiplication table and show precision and fluency in their work. Pupils should read and spell mathematical
vocabulary correctly and confidently, using their growing word-reading knowledge and their knowledge of
spelling.
At this stage, pupils should develop their ability to solve a wider range of problems, including increasingly
complex properties of numbers and arithmetic, and problems demanding efficient written and mental
methods of calculation. With this foundation in arithmetic, pupils are introduced to the language of algebra
as a means for solving a variety of problems. Teaching in geometry and measures should consolidate and
extend knowledge developed in number. Teaching should also ensure that pupils classify shapes with
increasingly complex geometric properties and that they learn the vocabulary they need to describe them.
By the end of Year 6, pupils should be fluent in written methods for all 4 operations, including long
multiplication and division, and in working with fractions, decimals and percentages.

The curriculum at Diamond Hall Junior Academy is well planned and thought-through to enable a
wide range of engagement, so to develop knowledge and skills cross the curriculum, not only
within class but in providing out of class opportunities to enable children to develop themselves as
learners and encourage each child to be as independent as possible. Pupil voice feedback, specific
whole staff planning time and moderation during staff meetings allows the staff to regularly review
and assess the impact that the curriculum is having.
Regular and robust monitoring and scrutiny by SLT and Subject leaders provide first-hand evidence
of how pupils are doing and ensures that high expectation and demanding outcomes are
maintained. In-school and cross-school moderation is quality assured.
We are working with NELT primary schools and Hermitage Academy, to develop, monitor and
quality assure our curriculum quality and provision.
The impact of out curriculum is measured through a range of different strategies:
• Data which is produced from summative tests as well as on-going teacher assessments
• Work scrutiny
• Learning walks
• Pupil voice
• Lesson observations
Monitoring is conducted by members of the senior leadership team and subject leaders. Governors
are invited to work alongside us with our monitoring.
