Mathematics Curriculum Overview
The Mathematics curriculum at Bristnall Hall Academy draws on the interconnected nature of mathematics as a discipline. We strongly believe that students deserve an ambitious and creative curriculum that seeks to strengthen students’ mathematical confidence which allows them to become resilient learners, armed with the knowledge and skills to solve a range of problems.
The BHA Mathematics curriculum employs a mastery approach to learning, which leads to learning that is sufficiently embedded, deep, connected and fluent. Our carefully sequenced curriculum aims to develop mathematical thinking, deep understanding and connection so that students become rigorous and resilient mathematicians who can reason logically and solve a broad range of problems. Significant time is spent on embedding a deep knowledge of the key ideas needed to underpin future learning. Our spiraling curriculum bases future learning on previously taught content, allowing students to deepen their understanding, frequently revisit content and apply their mathematical knowledge to a variety of new contexts.
Our curriculum seeks to enable all students to appreciate the relevance of mathematics, while fostering an enjoyment of mathematics. At every opportunity, we aim to develop resilient and knowledgeable mathematicians who are well prepared for the challenges of the next stage of their mathematics journey.
