Mathematics

Year 10 Rationale

The Harrow High School Mathematics department follows a tailored version of the White Rose Maths scheme of work. The White Rose Maths approach is to learn by making connections through carefully sequenced examples and questions. 

The curriculum is highly adaptive. Teachers assess prior knowledge before each unit and tailor their lessons accordingly. Basics are revised if necessary, and if time permits, learners are accelerated onto higher maths and further maths. 

In general, the scheme follows the structure outlined in Key Ideas in Teaching Mathematics (2013); a strong foundation in numerical and algebraic reasoning is built on with other more sophisticated types of reasoning as KS4 progresses. Each unit, and each lesson within each unit, is carefully sequenced to ensure all necessary prior knowledge is taught and understood.
