Faculty of Mathematics
In Maths, we are going to be using Microsoft Teams, both for individual Maths classes and the Broad General Education S1, S2 and S3 pupils as a whole. There will be learning allocated on Sumdog and Manga High, both which provide instant feedback. We are also hoping to use Microsoft Teams to deliver full lessons and set directed learning tasks from worksheets that can be handed in through Teams.
If you do not have internet access, learning tasks can be accessed from Homework booklets and Numeracy booklets. Please contact TGS and let us know and we’ll print out learning materials which can be posted to your home address.

 

 

Pupils in S1, S2 and S3 follow a course of study which allows various opportunity to progress through the Curriculum for Excellence Numeracy and Mathematics experiences and outcomes of  Broad General Education.

At this level learning in mathematics enables young people to:

– develop a secure understanding of the concepts, principles and processes of mathematics and apply these in different contexts, including the world of work

– engage with more abstract mathematical concepts and develop important new kinds of thinking

– understand the application of mathematics, its impact on our society past and present, and its potential for the future

– develop essential numeracy skills which will allow them to participate fully in society

– establish firm foundations for further specialist learning

– understand that successful independent living requires financial awareness, effective money management, using schedules and other related skills

– interpret numerical information appropriately and use it to draw conclusions, assess risk, and make reasoned evaluations and informed decisions

– apply skills and understanding creatively and logically to solve problems, within a variety of contexts

– appreciate how the imaginative and effective use of technologies can enhance the development of skills and concepts.
