S1-S3 BGE Mathematics progressing into Senior Phase Mathematics
The Mathematics Department at Linlithgow Academy aim to build a curriculum developing a culture where learners take responsibility for their own learning and are engaged across the Broad General Education (BGE) and into the Senior Phase.
Courses have been designed to allow for progression across the BGE and into the Senior Phase, building on prior knowledge and skills, and continues to consolidate and remediate problem areas.
Through careful course design across the BGE and the implementation of teaching strategies based around the use of manipulatives and alternative representations, we aim to develop an understanding and fluency in number and algebra. This ensures that every learner will experience excellent learning by being included, engaged and are attaining.
Enrichment tasks are a feature of lessons, forming an integral part of learning. The Department are working hard to develop and foster a culture where all learners work hard and are responsible for their own revision and seek help with areas of difficulty.
Our framework, Building Mathematically, allows learners to navigate the field of mathematics in a way which maximises deep understanding, enjoyment, autonomy and self-improvement.
Progression through BGE S1-S3
Progression from BGE to Senior Phase
As young people progress from S3 into Senior Phase a number of maths pathways are open for them. The appropriate pathway will be discussed with each learner as part of our course choice process.
