Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that is essential to everyday life. It is critical to science, technology, engineering, and crucial for financial literacy and most forms of employment. At TGPAL, we believe that a high-quality mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the beauty and power of mathematics. We aim to pursue mastery in mathematics 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.

At TGPAL, we use ‘White Rose Maths’, which is a well-structured and accessible scheme that ensures success for all of our pupils.
