Mathematics

Our vision:

Mathematics is part of our core discipline and is a universal language that enables understanding
of the world. Beyond the study of numbers, shapes and patterns, it also provides important tools
for work in fields such as engineering, physics, architecture, medicine and business. It nurtures the
development of a logical and methodical mindset, as well helping to inculcate focus and the
ability to solve all manner of problems.

Throughout their time at Woldgate School, children will develop mastery, resilience, and
numeracy through study of the elegance, logic and purity of mathematics.

 

Everything you do in Maths should be worthy of great merit, character, and value.

Of great merit:  MASTERY

Of great character: RESILIENCE

Of great value : NUMERATE

 

Mathematics Curriculum Overview

 

 

How families can support:

Ensure your child has the correct equipment, including a scientific calculator which they should
bring to every lesson.

Encourage the use of Maths websites to consolidate pupils’ learning in lessons, and to support
homework where necessary. A useful website is www.mymaths.co.uk. All pupils will be
informed of how to logon to this website when they join the school.

Checking homework is completed on time by encouraging your child to attempt homework on
the night it is set.

Encourage your child to seek help from their class teacher if they do not understand the class
work or homework, or use the drop-in clinic at the start of lunch-time (Monday to Thursday).

Encourage them to use maths in daily life.
