Developing confidence and a sense of achievement is central to our teaching of Maths here at Edenhurst. Maths is widely used in everyday situations and it is our aim to enable children, in an interesting and enjoyable way, to achieve a high standard of numeracy and other skills necessary to tackle a range of practical tasks and real life problems.

Traditional teaching methods, such as the teaching of tables, are combined with investigative work and technology to support and enhance the children’s learning of mathematical concepts.

Numeracy; shape, space and measure; handling data and algebra are taught and developed throughout the school and are carefully integrated with teaching the children to use and apply their skills to solve everyday problems with confidence and understanding.

In the early years Mathematics is delivered by our children's form teachers and support staff. Pupils in Years 4 to 8 have specialist Maths teaching and, here at Edenhurst, we pride ourselves in the excellent preparation given to our pupils for 11+ and 13+ entrance exams and Common Entrance papers.

Whilst providing support to pupils experiencing difficulties in Maths, we also aim to stretch the most able pupils. This is achieved both in the classroom through differentiated material and also through special Gifted and Talented sessions.
