Moral, Spiritual, Social, Cultural Education in Mathematics
Mathematics lessons provide opportunities to promote:
Spiritual development
through helping pupils obtain an insight into the infinite, and through explaining the underlying principles behind some beautiful natural forms and patterns in the
world around us.
Moral development
helping pupils recognise how logical reasoning can be used to consider the consequences of particular decisions and choices and helping them learn the value of
mathematical truth.
Social development
through helping pupils work together productively on complex mathematical tasks and helping them see the result is often better than any of them could achieve
separately.
Cultural development:
through helping pupils appreciate that mathematical thought contributes to the development of our culture and is becoming increasingly central to our highly
technological future, and through recognising that mathematics from many cultures have contributed to the development of modern day mathematics.
Literacy
Speaking and Listening
In mathematics lessons pupils are given the opportunities to participate orally to teachers questioning. They are actively encouraged to explain their reasoning to
the rest of the class. Paired and group work will be used to promote discussion between pupils. Correct use of mathematical vocabulary and terminology is actively
encouraged.
Reading
All the textbooks used by the Mathematics department are at a reading age that is lower than the chronological age of the child to assist with the accessibility of
resources.
Teachers will use high lighter pens to encourage pupils to read for information.
Writing
Teachers will highlight the incorrect spelling of Mathematical words to the student, in line with the school SPaG policy.
Teachers will use the PEE chain when developing pupils “Quality of Written Communication” skills.
