What are lessons like in this subject?
Lessons start with retrieval practice: previous topics taught are consolidated using quizzes, skills tests, or exam questions. Exemplar models are worked through in the lesson to introduce new topics. Time is allocated to practising skills and application in problem solving. Students are encouraged to engage in discussion to deepen their knowledge. Mini whiteboards, card matching activities, interactive resources and web sites are used in lessons. Students become proficient in the use of a graphical calculator. Activities such as sketching graphs, solving simultaneous equations, carrying out statistical calculations and much more are performed in lessons on their calculator. Maths enrichment is on offer throughout the year. Examples include university trips to maths departments to experience maths lectures and student life; the opportunity to participate in the senior maths challenge and team maths challenge annually; and guest lecturers and speakers are invited into college to give inspiring maths talks.

What our
students
Studying Maths has extremely enhanced my problem solving skills and has allowed me to use these skills in the real world. My teacher helps me improve the topics on which I struggle on to enable me to get the best grade I can achieve, this comes along with consistent homework to ensure progress is always being made.
