Mathematics
The five main areas at the forefront of Mathematics are:
- Number
- Measurement
- Shape and Space
- Handling Data
- Applying Mathematics
The development of pupils within each of these areas is observed and their strengths and weaknesses assessed.
The school includes within its syllabus, the objectives set out in the National Curriculum.
The pupils are subject taught using a variety of books, work cards and equipment to develop successfully the various aspects of Mathematics covered within their years at school. This includes the traditional learning skills, but a greater emphasis is now focused on showing the importance and relevance of such skills. By Year 6 pupils are using a wide range of these skills through practical and project work.
The pupils are encouraged to record their work in a variety of ways ranging from verbal, written, graphical, constructed, diagrammatic and symbolic to pictorial.
The importance of mathematical concepts in a variety of subjects, for example Science, Information Technology and Geography, promotes a strong cross curricular link.
