Mathematics
Aims and Vision for Curriculum
We aim to develop and inspire resilient students who are able to build a conceptual understanding of the mathematics they learn, its structures and relationships, and fluently recall mathematical knowledge to equip them to be mathematical thinkers able to solve problems within their maths lessons and beyond.
Developing Our Learners
We think carefully about how to break down a topic into a coherent set of steps, and we always use mathematically correct language and notation. Students are presented with visuals and manipulatives to help abstract concepts seem more real. We explore misconceptions, celebrate mistakes and use true/false questions to promote discussion.
These principles are in place to facilitate students to be able to see links, connections and make inferences and conjectures about different areas of Maths, as well as being able to articulate this clearly to others.
Structure And Sequence
Our curriculum is designed to be a mastery approach to mathematics with a focus ‘small steps’ supported by in depth problem solving and high expectations and vocabulary. Connections are made between topics, years and key stages to build the student’s understanding of maths and develop skills that are flexible and transferable.
Destinations And The World Of Work
Our topics are linked to real life examples of maths and use this to give a deeper meaning to our students. We explore where maths can take students in terms of Higher Education and careers to help sow the seeds of our future leaders in STEM.
