We aim to encourage students to develop lively, enquiring minds; to be capable of independent thought and to enjoy Mathematics through problem solving and perseverance.
We aim to enable students to appreciate the mathematics inherent in everyday situations; the place of maths in society and to have an awareness of historical and cultural influences.
We aim to develop the individual student's ability to apply mathematics in other subject areas, particularly Science, Technology and Geography.
We aim to provide a foundation for further study of Mathematics and other related disciplines.
In line with the National Curriculum, the Subject Area aims to enable students to:
· Use number, algebra and measures in practical tasks, in real-life problems and to investigate within Mathematics itself
· Understand number and number notation
· Understand number operations and make use of appropriate methods of calculation, develop a feel for number and recognise the significance of results obtained
· To estimate and approximate in number
· Recognise and use patterns, relationships, sequences and make generalisations
· Recognise and use functions, formulae, equations and inequalities
· Use graphical representation of algebraic functions
· Estimate and measure quantities and appreciate the approximate nature of measurement
· Handle data and use shape and space in practical tasks, in real-life problems and to investigate within Mathematics itself
· Recognise and use properties of two and three-dimensional shapes
· Recognise location and use of transformation in the study of space
· Collect, record and process data
· Represent and interpret data
· Understand, estimate and calculate probabilities
Using and applying mathematics is an integral part of the subject area's work. We aim to develop each student's ability to
· Make decisions
· Monitor their own progress
· Select an appropriate approach to solving a problem
· Ask their own questions and find their own solutions
· Coordinate a variety of features in their problem solving
· Formulate ideas
· Discuss ideas
· Interpret, record and present their findings
· Critically examine results
· Make and justify hypotheses and generalisations
· Produce reasoned justifications to solutions
· Read, write and talk about their maths in a variety of ways
· Work independently
· Work cooperatively
· Carry our extended pieces of work
The subject area contributes to student development in the skills area of communication, observation, study, problem solving, practical, creative and imaginative, numerical, personal, social and decision making.
