Outline of work
The scheme of work aims to teach the basic concepts of numbers and the number system, calculations, problem solving, data handling, and measure, shape and space; to instil a clear understanding of these concepts so that they can be applied to problem solving situations and help to develop the boys' confidence and reasoning in this area; and to educate the boys as to the relevance of mathematics in the wider context of everyday life and where possible to include examples at work.
In the Junior School the boys are taught Mathematics as a whole class and the work expected and produced is set to allow each boy to reach his true potential. We aim to make Mathematics lessons as interactive as possible and every boy is encouraged to participate wholly in each lesson by being given opportunities to demonstrate his understanding orally as well as on paper.
Resources
The school has a wide variety of mathematical equipment and resources enabling boys to further their understanding in every aspect of mathematics. These resources include an extensive range of mathematical games, videos and ICT equipment.
