Mathematics

Mathematics at Framingham Earl deals with real issues and real problems. We use investigations and real-life problem-solving situations so that students can put Mathematics into context and thereby give it relevance.  

In each of the major topic areas (number, algebra, ratio and proportion, geometry and measures, probability, statistics), the curriculum has been broken down into key strands. Developing fluency, reasoning and problem solving as stages of understanding are embedded throughout as a 5-year scheme of learning. Our long-term goal through the Framingham Earl Scheme of Learning is to produce a coherent journey of mathematical learning linking Key Stage 1 all the way through to the demands of A-level. 

A variety of teaching styles are used within lessons to cater for all students. Group work activities enable students to assess their peers, encouraging learning conversations between students allowing individuals to display mastery of topics. We hope that all our students enjoy learning and discovering Mathematics. Our aim is to help them unlock their potential, realise their ambitions and give students the confidence to use Mathematics creatively.
