Cambridge Primary: Math

The Cambridge Primary Mathematics curriculum is divided into 5 content areas:
  1. Number (Number and the number system, Calculation, Mental strategies*, +/-, x/:)
  2. Geometry (Shapes and geometric reasoning, Position and Movement,
  3. Measure (Money, Length, mass, and capacity, Time)
  4. Handling data (Organizing, categorizing, and representing data)
  5. Problem solving (Using techniques and skills in solving mathematical problems)
The first four content areas are all underpinned by Problem solving, which describes using techniques and skills and the application of understanding and strategies in solving problems. Mental strategies* are also a key part of the Number content.

This curriculum focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can:
  •  apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject.
