Our Mathematics programme encourages authentic learning, drawing on best practices and extending students mathematical knowledge. Authentic  problem solving is considered central to all mathematical study as it shows students have the ability to apply their knowledge to real life situations.

There are currently 6 teachers in our Mathematics department.

We have 6 strands:

Number

Algebra

Geometry

Measurement

Statistics.

Probability

Teachers make an overall judgement about the child’s progress in Mathematics. They use a variety of information sources. These include their day- to- day teaching, examples of student’s work produced and a range of formal and informal tests.
