Cultural Capital, SMSC & British Values

Cutural Capital in Maths

Cultural Capital is the amassing of knowledge, behaviours, skills and experiences that gives us the confidence to be able to talk, communicate, progress and take a full part in our community and wider world. At Esh Winning Primary school, we promote equality through our commitment to developing cultural capital for all our children.

In Maths, children are exposed to “real” problems, which are relative to their lives both now and in their future.

Children are taught to utilise their Maths skills to conduct investigations and experiments of their own. Maths is also explored to highlight its cultural significance in History where an understanding of timelines is paramount to the children’s understanding of the various historical periods they study.

Additionally, there are opportunities for children to experience Maths, which include Able Maths Days whereby children in Key Stage 2 are able to investigate Mathematical problems and use their skills in Maths to work alongside children from other schools.
