How parents can help to support their son’s/daughter’s
learning:
• Ensure that your child is always equipped with a pen, pencil, ruler
and calculator
• Encourage the need for meeting homework deadlines
• Encourage the need to review their answers to check they are
reasonable
• Encourage the need for revision to consolidate the topics taught
Students will be set weekly homework. This will be in the form of a written task or
computer based task.
The following websites can help your son/daughter’s
learning:
• www.mymaths.co.uk and www.mathswatchvle.co.uk
(your child will have their own logins)

Main skills developed in Year 10:
Students will become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including
through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over
time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall
and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. They will reason mathematically
by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and
developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
Students will be given opportunities to show they can solve problems by applying
their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with
increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of
simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions
SMSC and British Values:
Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been
developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing
problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and
engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment.
Mathematics therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability
to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics,
and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
