Overview of Approach

Fluency: Developing confidence and speed in basic operations and understanding core mathematical concepts.
Mathematical Reasoning: Encouraging logical thinking and the ability to explain and justify solutions.
Problem-Solving: Applying maths skills to a range of real-world and unfamiliar situations, helping students tackle practical problems effectively.

Focused Learning Objectives: Lessons are designed around specific learning objectives that target key concepts and skills. Each objective is thoroughly explored and consolidated before moving on to new material.
Differentiation: Instruction is tailored to meet the needs of all students, including those who need additional support and those who are ready for more advanced challenges. This ensures that each student can achieve mastery at their own pace.
Formative Assessment: Teachers use formative assessments (such as quizzes, classwork, and homework) to monitor progress and provide feedback. This helps identify areas where students need further practice and allows for timely intervention.
End-of-Topic Reviews: Regular reviews and revision sessions help reinforce learning and ensure that students retain their knowledge. These reviews often include practice exams and problem-solving sessions to prepare students for assessments.
Encouraging Growth Mindset: The mastery approach fosters a growth mindset by encouraging students to view challenges as opportunities for growth. Teachers support students in developing resilience and a positive attitude towards learning.
