Curriculum Map

This curriculum map provides an overview of the mathematics journey students will experience throughout the academic year. It outlines the sequence of mathematical topics and highlights the key assessment points designed to monitor and support student progress. The curriculum is carefully sequenced to build knowledge progressively, with each unit providing the foundation for future learning, ensuring all students develop mathematical fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills appropriate to their age and stage.

Homework 

In Mosslands, we use the online learning platform SPARX to set homework, helping to reinforce classroom learning and develop independent study skills. Homework is assigned once a week on a Tuesday and is due the following Tuesday. The carefully sequenced tasks on SPARX challenge students and deepen their understanding of key concepts. By completing their weekly homework, students build responsibility, time management, and independent problem-solving abilities, all essential for academic success. Support is always available from the Maths team to ensure students can approach their homework with confidence.
