Setting arrangements
Purple Band 3 Upper mixed attainment classes and 2 Middle mixed attainment classes White Band 3 Upper mixed attainment classes and 1 Middle mixed attainment classes
Time allowance each fortnight
7 hours
In Year 7 students will have 7 lessons per fortnight and during the course of the year will study units from the following mathematical strands: Number, geometry, data handling and algebra. They will follow a Mastery curriculum with the aim of developing not only mathematical fluency but also sound conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning skills. Appropriate mathematical literacy and oracy are also established as they form key building blocks in students’ mathematical education. For Term 1, Year 7 will be taught in Tutor Groups with setting as described here from Term 2.
