Subjects & Pricing
Maths
All our maths lessons will adopt a mastery approach. The key principles will include:
- Depth Over Breadth: The focus is on deeply understanding a limited number of topics rather than superficially covering a wide range of topics. This allows students to develop a strong foundation for more advanced concepts.
- Concrete to Abstract: Concepts are introduced using concrete examples and manipulatives before progressing to abstract representations and symbolic notation. This helps students grasp the underlying ideas before dealing with symbolic manipulations.
- Sequential Learning: Concepts are taught in a logical sequence, building upon each other. This ensures that each new concept builds on previously acquired knowledge.
- Problem Solving: Emphasis is placed on problem-solving skills and applying mathematical concepts to real-world situations. Students are encouraged to analyse problems, think critically, and devise multiple strategies to solve them.
- Flexible Pacing: Students progress at their own pace. Mastery is required before moving on, ensuring that gaps in understanding are addressed before new material is introduced.
- Formative Assessment: Regular assessments are used to gauge students' understanding and identify areas that need further attention. This allows for targeted intervention and support.
- Individualized Learning: Instruction is tailored to each student's needs, allowing for differentiation to accommodate various learning styles and abilities.
- Collaborative Learning: Group work and discussions are encouraged, enabling students to learn from each other and engage in mathematical discourse.
