Mathematics
Our aim is to provide
relevant mathematical experiences for all students. This
requir es
taking account of potential ability and preferred learning style, at the
same time catering for specific
learning difficulties, gender and ethnicity.
The Department seeks
to develop a
positive
attitude towards mathematics by:
-
developing to the maximum each pupils’ understanding of
mathematics in all its forms
-
seeing it as an interesting and attractive subject in its
own right
-
using practical projects to help pupils appreciate the
creative and aesthetic aspects of the subject
-
ensuring that persistence through sustained work is
rewarded
-
giving credit and praise to improve confidence
-
encouraging students to set themselves individual targets
that extend their learning
-
offering a variety of approaches to teaching and learning to engage and
motivate pupils and demand their active
participation
-
encouraging group participation in UKMT challenges, other
competitions and
enrichment opportunities to enhance pupils’ enjoyment of mathematics
-
smoothing the
transition for pupils between Key Stages and ensure progression in
teaching and learning throughout their time at The New Eccles Hall School
-
ensuring pupils
possess the knowledge, skill, concepts and attitudes to equip them for
adult life
At the
end of his/her mathematical education in this school, each pupil will be
able (relevant
to his/her age/ability):
-
to
experience satisfaction in and enjoyment of his/her mathematical
achievements
-
to
obtain his/her best possible level at each of the Key Stages 1, 2 and 3
-
to
obtain a relevant formal mathematical qualification at the end of Key
Stage 4
Schemes of Work
Long term
planning is based on the yearly teaching programme set out in the
National Numeracy Strategy at the Foundation stage, KS1, KS2, KS3.
Edexcel
specifications are followed for GCSE Mathematics, GCSE Statistics,
Adult Numeracy Level 1 and 2.
Key Stage 1 and Key
Stage 2 Schemes of Work are based on the Ginn Abacus Scheme and
Textbooks.
Key Stage 3 Schemes of
Work are based on the Collins Maths Frameworking Scheme and
Textbooks.
Key Stage 4 Schemes of
Work use Heinemann GCSE Higher and Foundation Textbooks.
