"Mathematics is the language with which
God has written the universe."
Galileo Galilei
Mathematics allows us to understand the world around us, and we are
passionate about passing on this knowledge.
As a Department we use a wide
range of resources which encourage learners to think logically and creatively.
The Mathematics Team are committed and energetic. We provide all
pupils with a wide variety of opportunities for challenge and enrichment.
The Department aims to stimulate an interest in, and an enthusiasm for,
Mathematics.
We are able to help pupils achieve the very best
Mathematical qualifications, and realise their potential both in this subject, and
other areas of the Curriculum where Mathematical skills are used.
During Key Stage 3 students will build on their progress made from Key Stage
2 and study a variety of topics.
The course is divided up into the following
areas of study:
Number & Calculation
Algebra
Shape, space and measure
Handling data
Students are placed in sets according to their Mathematical potential. They
are assessed each term and monitored closely to ensure that they are making
good progress. Students are encouraged to work both collaboratively and
independently to develop confidence and strengthen problem solving.
Mathematics and its applications are of fundamental importance in today’s
world and we aim to equip every pupil with the necessary tools to prosper in
this ever-changing environment.
