The Maths department at Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams, aims to provide students with a secure understanding of mathematical knowledge, categorised according to the following areas: number, algebra, geometry, ratio and proportion, probability, and statistics, meeting the needs of the National Curriculum at KS3 and KS4. The curriculum has been designed to promote mathematical fluency, in order for students to be able to accurately recall and apply their knowledge to both routine and non-routine problems, and be confident to develop arguments and justifications using mathematical language.

The focus of the curriculum is to develop both conceptual understanding and procedural knowledge of the fundamental elements of mathematics in order for students to access further problem-solving elements and reason mathematically, whilst fostering a love of maths. We have developed and created a curriculum that is carefully sequenced to continuously interleave content in order to strengthen links between different areas of mathematics.

In mathematics, our aim is to secure retention of knowledge and a depth of learning that results in students who are confident in taking their studies to the next level, whether that be further qualifications, higher education, or into the workplace. 

We are committed to providing an inclusive curriculum, celebrating and championing diversity and individuality in mathematics.
