At Unity Academy, we recognise the vital importance of Mathematics in everyday life. Our aim is for all children to leave the school being able to think mathematically, to reason logically and to confidently solve problems in a range of contexts.
Our Mastery approach to mathematics provides pupils with the opportunity to become fluent in the fundamentals of maths. Our application of a concrete, pictorial and abstract approach ensures that pupils develop a secure understanding of key concepts that they can carry through their lives.
Our KS3 provision aims to enable students to engage with, explore, enjoy and succeed in Maths. The course ensures that students are equipped with the core skills needed to be successful at KS4. Our KS4 provision encourages students to apply the core skills and knowledge they have gained at KS3 mathematically to problem solving and functional questions. Once pupils have secured the core skills needed to be successful at GCSE and they are confident in applying them, they begin to learn the specific topics needed to achieve a grade 4 +.
Through a mathematically rich curriculum the children are encouraged to reason mathematically allowing them to gain in confidence and in resilience. Teaching develops the children's problem solving skills and their ability to make links between different areas of mathematics and links to the areas of the wider world.
