The aims of Mathematics teaching throughout Northside are for pupils to enjoy mathematics, be successful and have a positive attitude to the subject. It is also important for children to understand where mathematics fits into other subjects, such as science and ultimately, our everyday life.

It is vital that Northside pupils develop a conceptual understanding of basic mathematical concepts through using manipulatives in order for them to have the ability to calculate successfully.

Lessons are carefully designed to incorporate the key skills of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving. Northside pupils are taught to develop their fluency skills by recalling and applying key facts. Maths activities encourage the children to reason using the correct mathematical language and solve problems logically using their mathematical knowledge.
