Mathematics
Mathematical thinking is important for all members of a modern society as a habit of mind for its use in the workplace, business and finance, and for personal decision-making.
Mathematics is fundamental to national prosperity in providing tools for understanding science, engineering, technology and economics. Mathematics equips students with uniquely powerful ways to describe, analyse and change the world.
Mathematics Department
Students arrive at Nunthorpe Academy already having studied several areas of maths. This includes place value; the four operations; fractions, decimals and percentages; measurement, geometry (specifically the properties of shapes and position and direction and some statistics. Having scrutinised KS2 Year 6 schemes of learning from some of our larger Primary feeder schools and also having knowledge of the KS 2 SATS papers means that we have built a curriculum that builds upon and links back to previous learning.
Students at Nunthorpe Academy will be guided along a journey to prepare them for their next steps after their Secondary education; whether this be further maths at higher education or simply the ability to use maths in their everyday life – using money, reading timetables, etc.
