Introduction

At Francis Holland School we believe that it is essential to engage students' interest in Mathematics if we are to develop their thinking in a structured and logical fashion, to solve problems in the real world. This is not only a skill for life but a vital part of every student's intellectual development. We use ICT as an integral part of our mathematics teaching. Computers can do many mathematical tasks for us; however, technology does not help us if we do not have a plan. Mathematics is all about thinking clearly and applying the correct mathematical tools to solve a problem. Some of these tools are thousands of years old, yet still relevant today.

Curriculum

At GCSE your daughter will study the IGCSE which is considered to have more academic rigour and better preparation for further study of mathematics at A Level.   

Resources

Department classrooms are equipped with the latest computer and projection equipment, which complement our traditional and structured approach to teaching and learning. Our girls appreciate the opportunity to see mathematics in action through images and resources brought into the classroom from appropriate websites.
