As part of the New Curriculum for Wales, we are introducing more discussion based maths lessons. This allows our students to bring crucial skills together to solve maths problems in small groups. The discussions that take place allow students to build their Mathematical understanding, oracy, and reasoning skills.
Today, a Year 8 group were solving different problems based on the Angle Facts they have been studying recently. They were able to collaborate to solve some GCSE exam style questions, whilst enhancing their key communication skills.
They also had fun in the process!
