We believe that mathematics is the language of life, offering fascinating insights into our world and how it works.
The pupils interact with some geometry computer software.
From
nursery through to Year 6 (age 11) we lay the foundations of, and build
on, a thorough understanding of number, measurement, shape, space and
handling data. Our programme of study is based on the National Curriculum,
but in addition to Key Stages 1 and 2, we also cover some Key Stage 3
(secondary) material. This is because we prepare all our children to sit
any of a range of 11+ entrance exams in maths, including the Common Entrance
Paper.
Of
course, passing exams at the highest level we can achieve is an important
part of life. At Blundell's Prep we are proud of an excellent record of
exam attainment, but achievement in maths is about far more than exams.
Our objective is that children go on to senior school with confidence
in, and real enjoyment of, maths in everyday life. Our role is to imbue
our pupils with the same enthusiasm we feel for this exciting subject,
so they can continue to develop their knowledge, understanding and true
potential in this fascinating subject through the rest of their lives.
