Mathematics
Our Maths curriculum is aspirational because it enables students to grow in their mathematical understanding and achieve their full potential in the world beyond education. We encourage an aspirational mindset and believe that students will overcome any challenges with maths concepts along their 7 year journey. We encourage students to have resilience and believe that “I can’t do it YET” growth mindset is paramount in maths.
Our Maths curriculum allows content in the classroom enables students to aim high and set ambitious goals for themselves. We strive to set challenging goals in our everyday teaching and with students’ continuous learning as this enables them to aspire to achieve the best understanding. This will enable them to contribute and to lead discussions, which will solve real world problems that they may face later in life.
The Maths curriculum serves our pupils by breaking down learning into small manageable chunks to enable them to develop and strengthen a firm foundation before building on this sequentially.
These small inclusive steps help develop their mathematical understanding, provide models to follow, increase independence and increasing their resilience as problem solvers. Understanding of maths concepts by our students thorough different mediums, such as pictorial and manipulates supports our students’ ability to communicate their ideas in different ways. By linking maths skills to real world problems and scenarios will help them see the relevance and importance of maths.
The Maths curriculum allows our pupils to flourish by giving students the opportunities and skills to thrive as numerate and critical thinkers, while motivating them to fulfil their potential.
Our Maths delivery is designed to build strong understanding via a mastery approach which encourages steady progression, independence and resilience. Careful variation in questions allows students to develop a deeper understanding of each topic and spot links to develop their schema of understanding, this fosters deep critical thinking and strengthens reasoning skills for later in life.
Our Maths curriculum is designed to grow all learners understanding of maths skills and enhance their continuous path of learning through the school, with students building on the key themes from their earlier experiences. Maths allows students to flourish with communicating their logical ideas, problem solve and progress to the next stage of their continuous learning journey of life in a positive manner and ultimately make a positive difference to the wider world we live in.
Sequencing in Maths
Sequencing in Maths at Manshead CE Academy is planned using small manageable steps that ensures progression and real depth of knowledge. Students build on their previous knowledge and skills constantly throughout each year, with each unit flowing into the next and allowing cross over of skills which helps reinforce their understanding. At both KS4 and KS5, we follow exam board schemes of work, with real-world examples to bring learning alive. This Mastery approach allows students to develop a deep understanding of maths skills, laying a firm foundation for further opportunities and future aspirations. Maths Mastery and it’s sequencing of units is regularly reviewed to ensure all learners, including those who are disadvantaged or have special educational needs, can flourish.
Adaptive Teaching in Maths
Adaptive teaching in Maths is key to our inclusive teaching pedagogy. Our Units of work and lessons are designed to be accessible and engaging for all students. Teachers invest time in adapting lessons to meet the needs of their class and students within it. providing additional consolidation and challenge if needed. The Maths team have adopted a Mastery and variation teaching approach to facilitate understanding. Regular termly assessments and low stakes mini tests provide feedback that enables every student to grow in confidence and be successful.
Spirituality in Maths
Spirituality in Maths is seen through the ideas of uncertainty, awe and wonder. Students consider the ideas such as infinity and use of standard form when calculating with very big and very small numbers and the power of mathematical notation to represent these things. The curriculum integrates the Church of England’s vision by promoting awe, wonder, helping students to develop a sense of purpose and self-awareness in the world God made.
Learning outside the classroom in Maths
Students in Mathematics use the Sparx platform as a learning tool outside the classroom. This is used for homework and for students to use independently on areas of development for them. Our students compete in UK Maths Challenges, either individually or in teams in our local area and visit mathematical marvels that impacted on our history, such as visiting Bletchley Park and the breaking on the Nazi’s enigma code in World War 2.
