How is mathematics taught in the Juniors?

Mathematics lessons are a balance of whole class work, independent activities and guided groups.

Mental mathematics - consolidate and practice Formal written methods and informal jottings Areas of mathematics: number; shape, space & measure and handling data with using and applying appearing in all of these areas

How many packs of 24 can we make from 560 biscuits? Start by multiplying 24 by multiples of 10 to get an estimate. As 24 20 = 480 and 24 30 = 720, we know the answer lies between 20 and 30 packs. We start by subtracting 480 from 560.

Pupils who achieve level 5 at the end of Year 5 are working towards Level 6 At the end of Year 9 pupils are expected to be a level 5 or 6. Level 7 is GCSE grade C. Papers consist of a calculator and noncalculator paper Grade received is either able to work at level 6 or not.

Content Examples: Complex problem solving Algebra solving linear equations, nth term in sequences FDP finding percentage changes, + - X fractions Shape, space and measure area and circumference of circles, properties of intersecting and parallel lines Statistics drawing pie charts, understanding scatter graphs
