Maths at RPS

At RPS we believe the habits of thinking mathematically are life-enriching. Through the teaching of Mathematics, we teach children how to make sense of the world around them by developing their ability to calculate, reason and solve problems. Our aim is for children to understand the relationships and patterns in both number and space in their everyday lives. We view maths as a creative and highly interconnected subject essential to everyday life, science, technology and engineering, and necessary for most forms of employment. It is vital to be numerate to participate fully in society and democratic processes. At Rotherhithe we ensure that every young person, regardless of background, has a rich and meaningful mathematics education. Our curriculum is cumulative and ambitious.
