The new starter booklets have been designed to ensure that lesson time is utilised effectively by promoting a prompt start. Additionally, the questions are crafted to be ambitious, ensuring alignment with the aims and objectives of the National Curriculum in Mathematics.
The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all students:
· become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics through the varied and frequent practise of increasingly complex problems over time, so that students develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
· reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
· can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Below are examples of students work in KS3 and KS4:
