Maths - Remote Learning During COVID-19 School Closure
Teachers will be setting work for each teaching group on Show My Homework, intended to provide a reasonable curriculum. All work will be set for online submission, with students saving work and using the Submit Work feature on SMHW.
Students may also be directed to specific clips, activities and assignments on MathsWatch for submission on MathsWatch. Students have their login details.

The Mathematics department is of fundamental importance in any school, and no less so at Barnwell. We look for success in both academic performance and in the development and progress of the students.
The staff are well-qualified, experienced practitioners who take great pride in their practice and their professionalism and thoroughly enjoy their subject.
All students follow a structured scheme of work that prepares them well for public exams. It also challenges them to think, to take an active role in lessons and helps them become independent learners.
In Key stages 3 and 4 students will be provided with a rich experience of maths, enabling them to understand its importance in analysing problems related to both the real world and to mathematics itself.
The AQA mathematics GCSEs will give students more opportunities to see how mathematics works in the real world (applications) and to engage in conceptual thinking (methods). Problem solving forms an integral part of the mathematics curriculum.
We provide all GCSE students the ability to access the online Collins textbooks.
Students will study six main topic areas:
Ratio, proportion and rates of change
Students will be expected to have a scientific calculator. The teacher will tell students which would be the best to get. Students will learn how to use it properly and recognise when you make a mistake.
There are now a revised set of Assessment Objectives, with an emphasis on decreasing rote learning and more problem solving, that will often require multi-step solutions. Questions in assessments will be less clearly structured and more open ended, frequently set within real world contexts. These fall into three bands:
Use and apply standard techniques
Students should be able to:
- accurately recall facts, terminology and definitions
- use and interpret notation correctly
- accurately carry out routine procedures or set tasks requiring multi-step solutions
Reason, interpret and communicate mathematically
Students should be able to:
- make deductions, inferences and draw conclusions from mathematical information
- construct chains of reasoning to achieve a given result
- interpret and communicate information accurately
- present arguments and proofs
- assess the validity of an argument and critically evaluate a given way of presenting information
Solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts
Students should be able to:
- translate problems in mathematical or non-mathematical contexts into a process or a series of mathematical processes
- make and use connections between different parts of mathematics
- interpret results in the context of the given problem
- evaluate methods used and results obtained
• evaluate solutions to identify how they may have been affected by assumptions made.
Students will be in a set that is working together at one of two levels, foundation or higher depending upon ability. Some of the time students will be listening, sometimes they may be working silently on their own; at other times they will be discussing an idea with the teacher or their set. Students will be given opportunities to work in small groups in a problem solving activity or investigation. Students will also work in some of these activities by themselves. Students will have an exercise book for their work and you will require a scientific calculator in all lessons.
At the end of the GCSE course students will complete three exams. Paper 1 is non-calculator and equates to 33.3% of the final exam grade, papers 2 and 3 are calculator and equates to 33.3% each of the final exam grade. Grades 1 - 9 will be awarded. Students will be assessed throughout the course to ensure that targets are achieved.
