Curriculum Information for Key Stage 3 students
Welcome to the Maths department
Aim:
Our aim is for all our students to acquire a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. In order to do this, they must be able to:
- Develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately across different mathematical facts and concepts.
- Make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems.
- Able to apply their mathematical knowledge to Science, Design and Technology and other subjects.
- Know that Maths is essential to everyday life and further study; critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment.
What topics will I study in KS3:
Year 9 Foundation Scheme of Work
Can I study this at KS4?
Yes this is a core subject and is studied by all students
Are there any enrichment opportunities in school?
Additional maths is offered as a separate subject in year 11.
What could I do/read at home to help myself or where could I visit to help my learning?
Ensure all set Hegarty or Sparx homework tasks are done and that you score at least 70% or higher on each task. If you get stuck on a question, then watch the video related to that topic on Hegarty or Sparx and have a go with the task again.
In addition to this, we have a KS3 drop-in session weekly after school in room 4C where Maths teachers will be available to help you with any homework tasks that you are stuck with.
