Our AIM is to develop all students to
become numerically intelligent, able to face challenges independently and willing to take risks in their learning. Who we are
Mrs Vivienne Morell (Formerly Miss Chung-Penney) Head of Maths Mrs Andrea Ruck Mrs Catherine Haywood Mrs Helen Deadman Mrs Jane Macdonald Mr Paul Murnane About Mathematics At Kings International, we hope to equip students by introducing them to concepts, skills and thinking strategies that provides a way of viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to analyse and communicate information and ideas and to tackle a large range of practical tasks and real-life problems. We have a high expectation of all students so that they will recognise and achieve their full potential. We hope that students will develop their own skills in analysis, reasoning, creativity, collaboration, and self-belief so they can meet the mathematical problems they face with thoughtfulness and enthusiasm. Curriculum Students follow the Mastery teaching and learning approach where all pupils acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. Pupils are given time to think deeply, understand the concepts and develop their mathematical fluency rather than memorising just sets of procedures. While studying mathematics you will be expected to:
Equipment: You must have a scientific calculator, which should be brought to every lesson. Other mathematical equipment, such as rulers, protractors and compasses, are essential. These are available to purchase via ParentPay at a heavily discounted rate compared to online retail store. Assessment: Examination Paper 1: Non-calculator Paper Paper 2: Calculator Paper Paper 3: Calculator Paper There is no coursework element. There will be a mixture of short and longer questions. You answer the questions on the exam paper itself and you will have to answer all the questions. |
