Mathematics& Numeracy

The school’s main objective is to ensure that the children understand Mathematics and its use in everyday life. We promote a positive attitude to Mathematics as an interesting and attractive subject in which all pupils can gain some success and pleasure. By following the Northern Ireland Curriculum we provide a programme of work that develops mathematical skills and knowledge, accompanied by quick recall of basic facts. To support this development we use the published Mathematical Scheme ‘Heinemann Mathematics’ which provides the principal teaching for Primary 1 to Primary 7. This scheme is enriched by a wide range of other schemes and teacher’s own materials, problem solving activities and computer data handling activities.
