The Mathematics department aim to develop the application of mathematical concepts in order to promote independent enquiry and the enjoyment of learning mathematics. The use of active teaching approaches and time to reflect on learning is at the heart of our teaching and learning ethos. Rich questioning and discussion so that students can use and apply skills in order to extend mathematical knowledge is important in supporting progress. Identifying misconceptions as a starting point for concept building allows us to be responsive to the needs of each individual student which enables us to allow for additional time before moving on if required. We encourage our students to look more deeply into mathematical concepts and where they can be used in order to help them gain a greater understanding of the subject.
