Maths
Maths is taught 4 times each week by class teachers, under the guidance of the subject leader. Pupils follow the Maths Pathways which ensures pupils are working at an appropriate level of challenge with opportunities to practice fluency and apply through reasoning and problem solving. The pathways ensure content is progressive and sequenced to ensure links are made in maths learning. The Maths curriculum is underpinned by the importance of the CPA approach and the use of manipulatives to do this. The ultimate goal in maths is for pupils to leave Pennine View with the key mathematical skills that support everyday life, feeling confident and proud of their achievements. Pupils need these core skills to live a fulfilling and successful life. Our maths curriculum is designed in such a way that all pupils are able to engage in, and find success with, mathematics.
Maths is assessed through rigorous assessments taken 3 times per year and moderated by the subject lead. In year 11, pupils take their Entry Level Certificate qualification in maths.
