British Values at Wadworth Primary School: Maths |

Democracy |
Maths provides many opportunities to explore democracy and the rule of law. We take into account the views of others and learn about democracy through voting when collecting data to analyse. |
Rule of Law |
Children follow class rules safely during tasks and activities to benefit everyone as well as understanding the consequences if rules are not adhered to. |
Individual liberty |
We work within boundaries to make a safe and personal choice from a given selection during practical activities. Providing challenges and opportunities to deepen the moment. |
Mutual Respect |
Children behave appropriately, allowing everyone involved the opportunity to work to the best of their ability. In addition, they take turns, sharing equipment, reviewing each other’s work respectfully and working collaboratively on projects whilst helping others. |
Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs |
Pupils use Maths to learn about different faiths and cultures around the world. For example, looking at patterns and shapes within Islam and Hindu religions. |
