Brief summary and aims:<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/h6>\n
We aim to project Mathematics as a positive and enjoyable experience as well as an important part of the curriculum by:<\/h6>\n
    \n
  • \n
    ensuring pupils are taught the mathematical and numerical skills required for life, learning, employment and further study.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    providing each pupil with the mathematical and numerical skills required for progression in other curriculum areas.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    ensuring pupils understand the importance of Mathematics and the role it plays in the world around them.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    encouraging pupils\u2019 confidence, engagement and enjoyment in Mathematics<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    supporting every pupil to progress and achieve to the best of their ability in mathematics.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n
  • \n
    Pupils progress through BGE at an appropriate level and pace.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Almost all pupils will have experienced and achieved Third Level by end of S3, and many will have experience at Fourth Level before progression to Senior Phase in S4.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    A small number will consolidate Second level in S1 to improve progression to Third level.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Pupils\u2019 experiences are enhanced by a number of year group and whole school events including Numeracy Week, Pi Day, Numeracy Games Olympiad.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    In S2 pupils have an additional period where they focus on Numeracy across Learning, Life and Work.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Homework is an integral part of learning experiences and enhances progress at all levels.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
