The Mathematics teachers have once again been busy planning and writing online lessons for our students, recording tutorials and meeting up with their classes on Microsoft Teams. Seems like this time round though, we all know what to do and felt a little bit easier to fall back into the Remote Learning routine. We now have our dedicated Maths Skills sessions for Year 7s being held on Microsoft Teams. I commend all the Mathematics teachers for supporting one another and for their dedication, time and effort they all put in to continue to have the best possible learning outcomes for our students.

Have a look at a few snapshots taken by some Mathematics teachers during their Microsoft Teams meeting with their class. Quite a few smiley faces and some interesting backgrounds too!

All Year 9 students should have by now submitted their subject preferences for 2021. The Mathematics teachers will be looking at the subjects that have been selected. Teachers may need to request a discussion to happen with the student and parent about the choice they have made. This is to make sure students have made an informed decision about their Year 10 Mathematics pathway. It is important to remind all students that all Mathematics subjects offered are year-long subjects and that they cannot swap pathways during the year.
