Maths

The Mathematics curriculum at Ark Soane aims to ensure that students are better able to understand and engage with the world around them. A Mastery curriculum means students acquire a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. It provides students with the knowledge to take an unfamiliar situation and make sense of it mathematically. Students will be expected to ask questions, explain ideas, be systematic and organised in their thinking, spot patterns, and use logic.

At the heart of what students will learn will be problem solving. Key concepts and representations will be repeatedly revisited through the years as students build and develop their conceptual understanding with multiple representations and common structures allowing students to link concepts together and make connections. Quick and efficient recall of knowledge will allow students the flexibility to move between different contexts and representations of mathematics. We will always start with ensuring that the basics are secure then draw attention to critical aspects to develop a deeper understanding. Students will be explicitly shown connections and relationships to transition from novice learners to expert.

Students will be exposed to all strands of Maths through their time at Soane (Number, Algebra, Geometry, Ratio and Proportion and Probability and Statistics). These strands will be explicitly interleaved through the years so that students are able to see the subject as whole rather than seeing the different areas of Maths as separate elements. At GCSE, students will follow the Edexcel course.
