Intent
The Maths curriculum develops key concepts, ideas and representations over the five year course at Bohunt Farnborough School. Key models and images are constantly built upon whilst making links between ideas. Students move from concrete to pictorial and abstract ideas.
Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
Mathematics is taught making links between different concepts, multiple representations are used which allow students to be able to move fluently between representations of mathematical ideas.
Please see the curriculum map for a more details of the content taught for each year group.
