Mathematics
Intent
In the mathematics department, our curriculum enables us to create and develop curious, resilient problem solvers who listen to and value the opinion of others.
The curriculum will enable students to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time. This will enable them to develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
By building confidence through a particular sequence of learning, learners will be able to tackle difficult tasks and give reasoning behind what they are doing. They will learn real life skills that will enable them to make intelligent financial decisions, be open minded and approach issues they face with confidence. They will have a love of maths and number, and enjoy the challenge that difficult situations bring.
Implementation
Students follow a 5 year curriculum that builds on and develops their understanding as they work towards the Pearson Edexcel GCSE in Mathematics. Students will;
-
develop fluent knowledge, skills and understanding of mathematical methods and concepts
-
acquire, select and apply mathematical techniques to solve problems
-
reason mathematically, make deductions and inferences, and draw conclusions
-
comprehend, interpret and communicate mathematical information in a variety of forms appropriate to the information and context.
