Thinking Mathematically

We are excited to share that Year 7 students have now completed seven weeks of the 20-week Thinking Mathematically research project. This innovative initiative challenges our students to explore and solve mathematical problems, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

The students have shown enthusiasm and resilience as they tackle this different style of problem. They are learning when to persevere with a solution and when to step back and approach a problem from a new angle. This ability to “start again” has helped them develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and encourages a growth mindset. It’s been inspiring to see how they are embracing the challenges with determination and confidence.

One of the highlights of the project so far has been the excellent oracy skills the students are demonstrating. They are articulating their thought processes clearly, explaining how they approach each problem, and collaborating with their peers to explore different solutions. Their ability to discuss, debate and refine their ideas has contributed to their individual growth and the collaborative nature of the project.

I have included some examples of the students work below.
