Welcome to our year 6 transition page for Maths
Mathematics contributes to society and to the development and functioning of individuals within it. It is useful in many other areas of learning, in everyday life and at work. We explore mathematical theory in depth whilst also applying it to real-world situations.
The Maths department at Welling aims to provide a challenging and enriching learning experience through high quality teaching which allows pupils to discover and engage in the world of Mathematics. The department has a wealth of experience in mathematics and its practical applications. The Department strive to ensure that pupils leave Welling with outstanding Maths grades and also the Mathematical skills that they will benefit from for the rest of their lives.
At Welling we want all student to have a love of learning mathematics by:
Developing fluency
This will be by consolidating their mathematical capability from KS2 and extending this knowledge to allow students to use the appropriate strategies to solve increasingly complex problems.
Reason Mathematically
Students will be able to, explore, interpret, predict and articulate their answers using mathematical language.
We also want our students to develop their mathematical knowledge, in part through solving problem and therefore develop resilience and to see how Maths is constantly interconnected, not just between topics but also between subjects such as Science and also how it is relevant to the real world.
studying maths in year 7
The Maths curriculum at KS3 focused on the extension and development of skills first explored at KS2. Pupils are encouraged to develop and improve their Mathematical reasoning and challenged to apply their Mathematical knowledge to real world examples. Problem-solving will form a large part of the curriculum and pupils will be encouraged to use the skills that they have been taught in order to solve problems.
