Mathematics English C 2009/2010 Anne Voulund


Aims:
To develop mathematical skills allowing each pupil to become confidently numerate, making and understanding the
mathematical connections that exist between numbers and the number system, calculations, problem solving, handling data, measures, shape and space.

Method:
• To compensate for the two grades in the class two different text books are used.
• Each lesson starts with the whole class doing oral work together, this is followed by the main teaching input and pupil activities. The remaining time is spent with guided pupil practice.
• This work is consolidated with homework and games. Supporting work and extension activities are also used.

The following topics are taught through the year.
