Maths

In a rapidly changing world, Mathematics remains a constant, essential element of success for both individuals and society as a whole.

At MKA we aim to provide students with the mathematical knowledge and skill that they need to thrive at whatever level they operate. We also aim to work together to develop the attributes essential to making a positive contribution to wider society, such as team-working, resilience, problem-solving and communication.

Our curriculum is specifically set out to provide a structured, progressive framework to a student’s development and to build all these elements over time. It aims to inspire and enthuse students and, where possible, create a love of Maths and a desire in each student to be the best that they can be. We believe that this approach will lead to the greatest success for students, both in formal exams and in wider life.

The KS3 programme of work has been designed to help the students become confident and competent in all the skills and techniques required by the National Curriculum. Students will also begin to connect different areas of the curriculum and to apply their skills to complex problem-solving. Teaching and activities aim to engage, challenge, and enthuse every student.

At KS4 our students focus on the following areas:

• Learning more advanced skills and techniques
• Applying knowledge to solve more complex, multi-topic problems Developing mathematical communication skills
• Developing “enquiring minds”

Through each of these, our students will maximise their potential in exams, further studies, and their future careers.
