Statement of Intent for MATHS  At St Stephen’s we intend to provide a Maths curriculum which allows children to reason mathematically through creative and engaging lessons. We want children to make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly

sophisticated problems. As our pupils progress, we intend for our pupils to be able to understand the world, have the ability to reason mathematically, have an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity of the subject.
