The mathematical curriculum at BGS has been carefully sequenced so that different strands of mathematics are woven into a cohesive and ambitious curriculum that can be accessed by all students, regardless of their starting point. Topics are referenced wherever possible to real life situations. We focus on developing problem solving and meta-cognition skills for all year groups so that students develop a fluency of understanding and can relate their learning to a variety of situations. Use of problem-solving skills develops confidence in their mathematical ability and students understand that these skills are transferable to all other aspects of their lives, as they grow into successful adults.
We encourage students to take risks with their learning, promoting a resilient attitude where students understand that making mistakes is an important part of the learning process. Students embed this resilient attitude every week using DIT lessons, this is time given to reviewing their learning of each topic studied and then to deepen or revisit that topic if they, their peers, or the teacher feel it is beneficial to their learning. This cycle of development supports our students to take ownership of their learning as they become successful empathetic mathematicians.
