Numeracy in Mathematics

In the Maths department, we have introduced a new way to assess classwork. We have created an acronym which students will be encouraged to adhere to:

Spelling

Terminology

Accuracy

Mathematical Notation

Presentation

Students who have met these criteria in their work will receive the ‘PGHS Maths STAMP of approval’.

To ensure students (and staff!) are using the correct terminology, we have put together a list of banned words and their replacements, which will be displayed in every Maths classroom. Students will be encouraged to correct one another and ‘tell off the teacher’ if a banned word is accidentally used.
