Lessons start with retrieval practice: previous topics taught are consolidated using quizzes, skills tests or exam questions. Exemplar models are worked through in the lesson to introduce new topics. Time is allocated to practising skills and application in problem solving. Students are encouraged to engage in discussion to deepen their knowledge. Mini-whiteboards, card matching activities, interactive resources and websites are used in lessons. Students become proficient in the use of a graphical calculator. Activities such as sketching graphs, solving simultaneous equations, carrying out statistical calculations and much more are performed in lessons on their calculator. Maths enrichment is on offer throughout the year. Examples include university trips to maths departments to experience maths lectures and student life, along with the opportunity to participate in the senior maths challenge and team maths challenge annually. Guest lecturers and speakers are invited into college to give inspiring maths talks.
