What do we do?
We provide an adaptative approach to teaching maths that is tailored to the individual needs, abilities, and learning styles of each student, ensuring that every student can make progress.
We nurture and equip our students with practical and functional maths skills that can be used in daily life, including counting, budgeting, time management, measurements, and basic problem-solving.
We grow our student’s confidence in numeracy by teaching in engaging ways, providing many opportunities to develop numeracy skills in a real life context.
How do we do it?
We use EHCP desired outcomes and baseline assessments to develop ambitious flight paths.
We teach maths within a spiral curriculum enabling all students to achieve a qualification that is challenging and suited to their needs.
We promote independence in maths using assistive technology (iPads), visual aids, manipulatives, adaptive teaching and explicit instructions.
We give students opportunities to apply their numeracy skills within a range of practical situations, across the curriculum and within the local community.
Why do we do it?
To ensure our students make excellent progress so that they leave us having met their accredited potential and with the knowledge and problem-solving skills that will enable them to flourish in their adult lives.
To help students relate mathematical knowledge and skills to their everyday experiences.
To support students to gain success and meet their EHCP cognition and learning desired outcomes.
Please see some guides below that show the strategies that we use in school when teaching the four different operations (addition/subtraction/multiplication/division). These will support you and your child when complete homework or revision for maths assessments.
