Mathematics
The aim of the Mathematics department at Holme Grange is to encourage each pupil to fulfil their mathematical potential whilst developing a desire to take the subject further. Understanding and responding to individual pupils needs and abilities are of key importance. Children are challenged whatever their level and we are proud of the progress that they make.
Up to Year 4 children are taught Mathematics in their forms with their class teacher, they are placed in sets according to ability and work in small groups within these sets. Pupils from Year 5 to 8 receive lessons from specialist subject teachers.
We use a mixture of traditional and modern teaching methods, it is our experience that pupils learn best when they are actively involved. All classrooms are supported by the latest technology - interactive whiteboards and laptops with wireless internet facility are used daily, while we still value the use of the text book!
