💥A Day in the Life of the Maths Department💥

💫Maths in Action💫

Teachers Arriving at School: Printing, Preparation and Morning Coffee

Time: 7:00–8:30am

Maths teachers arrive early to prepare for the day’s lessons. This includes reviewing lesson plans, checking homework submissions, ensuring resources such as worksheets and starter activities are ready. Early preparation helps lessons begin promptly and with  a clear focus on learning.

During this time, Maths teachers print worksheets, exam-style questions and problem-solving tasks. Everything they may need for a successful lesson. They may also refine lesson slides or adapt activities. A quick coffee helps teachers get ready for a full day of teaching Maths to the amazing mathematicians here at Ash Manor!

Teaching and Learning – Our brilliant Maths Lessons 

Throughout the day, students take part in Maths lessons that build key skills such as reasoning, problem-solving, and fluency. Every lesson across all year groups and with a carefully structured scheme of work based on the national curriculum, the Maths team support students in applying methods, explaining their thinking and tackling challenge questions to deepen understanding (Not to mention being fun as well!)

Lunch Time 

During lunchtime the maths department like to come together in the office and have lunch as a group. This gives us the opportunity to reflect on how the lessons have gone and have social time of our own. We engage in fun and interesting conversations about what we have got up to out of school, some of us catch up with the news and football scores, and some of us are too busy eating our lunch! Here you can see Mr. Lintott checking the Norwich City scores!

Planning Time

Maths teachers take time to plan engaging lessons, mark assessments, and analyse student progress. Teachers use this time to adapt future lessons, prepare differentiated tasks and ensure we deliver the best possible lessons for our brilliant and deserving students. Here you can see Mrs. Jackson hard at work marking some amazing maths books.  

After School 

After school on Thursday evenings, our Maths team run Further Maths sessions. Mr Knox is captured in the photo below teaching one of these brilliant sessions. This time is also used for departmental meetings, resource sharing, and planning upcoming units to ensure consistent, high-quality Maths lessons. We take this time to share the success of the day with one another and have a breather before we continue to do preparation for the following day.
