Pupils will study a variety of different topics. This will allow them to understand and apply both new and existing
understanding to a range of different problems and contexts.

Equations and Inequalities | Volumes and Surface Area | |
Similarity | Linear Expressions | |

Throughout Mathematics lessons pathways for future study of STEM subjects is promoted. Opportunities are provided for pupils to use the Mathematics they have learnt in real life contexts.
To support the learning within the subject, pupils will be expected to undertake independent consolidation and preparation work outside of the lesson. The nature of this will vary from class to class, but most pupils will be expected to complete one task a week, this might be using Mymaths, or mathswatch, or it could be a written piece of work designed to consolidate their understanding. Pupils will be expected to complete DIRT work at home using mathswatch after every assessment. Pupils are encouraged to use mathswatch independently of the class to support their own learning.

Building on the Mathematics studied in years 7-9, the year 10 course is designed to deepen students’ understanding of basic concepts, provide intellectual challenge with new topics, and provide an insight in to how mathematics is used in everyday life.
Students in Mathematics are continually assessed in lessons, in addition every couple of weeks’ students will complete an assessed homework. Once marked by their class teacher, students will receive targets for improvement. In addition to this students will sit summative assessments throughout the year.
Students in Mathematics will be set based on their ability, this is initially based on information from the primary school, and then through our own regular testing.
Students identified as needing additional help in Mathematics, will be supported though a basic skills numeracy program.
All students benefit from having their own scientific calculator; these can be brought from the Mathematics Department. Students would also benefit from having had basic geometry set available for every lesson.
