Mathematics
Subject Vision and Intent
The Mathematics Department aims to provide all students with a rewarding and enjoyable experience of mathematics. We will prepare students to become confident, numerate individuals who are able to deal with all aspects of mathematics in their chosen career and in all aspects of their adult life.
This will be accomplished through our commitment to excellent teaching, a well-designed curriculum focused on creating mastery within Mathematics and a commitment to engaging students. We have high expectations of all students so that they will recognise and achieve their full potential. We hope that students will develop their own skills in analysis, reasoning, problem-solving, collaboration and self-evaluation so that they can meet the mathematical problems they face throughout their lives with greater confidence and critical thinking.
Pupils will complete unit tests at the end of every unit to monitor short-term progress. In addition, pupils complete termly tests based on units learnt during that term. For each unit, pupils will be challenged with problem-solving and reasoning questions. Also, there will be links to Stem and Real-Life Mathematics.
