Subject Overview:
In Maths, Year 8 students have 5 lessons each week.
Year 8 students will receive one 30-40 minute piece of Maths homework each week.
These can consist of online homework, written homework or research and presentation preparation.
Students are placed in sets according to their learning need. All sets study the same topics but at varying depth and complexity.
Assessments:
Students in Year 8 are given an assessment at the end of each unit and a summative assessment at the end of each term.
