"Mathematicians aren't people who find maths easy; they're people who enjoy how hard it is”
- Matt Parker
Mathematics is a creative and highly interconnected discipline that has been developed over centuries. It provides the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems and is essential to everyday life. It is a critical component of science, technology and engineering, and necessary for most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education enables students to reason mathematically, and helps them to understand and appreciate the power and beauty of the world around them. Mathematics consists of six main strands; Number, Algebra, Ratio, Geometry, Probability and Statistics.
Key Stage 3
Students will build on key stage 2 and connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. They should also apply their mathematical knowledge in science, geography, computing and other subjects. The maths KS3 scheme of learning at Our Lady’s is built from the “White Rose Maths” curriculum.
Key Stage 4
Together, the mathematical content set out in the key stage 3 and key stage 4 programmes of study covers the full range of material contained in the GCSE Mathematics qualification which is taken by students at the end of year 11.
