Mathematics

The teaching of mathematics at Abu Bakr Boys School is geared towards enabling each child to develop within their own capabilities; not only the mathematics skills and understanding required for later life, but an enthusiasm and fascination about maths itself. Mathematics is important in everyday life, many forms of employment, science and technology, the economy, the environment and development and public decision making. Today, the subject transcends cultural boundaries and its importance is universally recognised

Aims

Students in year 7 and 8 follow a 2 year scheme of work, allowing pupils to develop their mathematical skills through core topics, as well as engaging pupils with functional activities. Students are assessed after each topic as well as termly to ensure progress is made and interventions are put in place for required assistance. The two year scheme allows pupils to progress in a structured manner allowing them to develop all key areas of Mathematics.

At the end of the two year scheme pupils will have covered all topics which include

1 Number

2 Algebra

3 Ratio, proportion and rates of change

4 Geometry and measures

5 Probability

6 Statistics

Students in year 9, 10 and 11 follow Edexcel GCSE Mathematics curriculum, which is a linear scheme.  There is no coursework involved and there is only one formal assessment at the end of the course level 2 GCSE (9–1) in Mathematics

The assessments will cover the following content headings:
