The White Rose Maths Scheme is designed to provide a comprehensive and engaging mathematics education for students. This scheme can be linked to the five fundamental British values: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. Here's how some of the curriculum content aligns with these values:

1. Democracy:

   • Collaborative Learning: The scheme encourages group work and collaborative problem-solving, allowing students to share their strategies and solutions. This fosters democratic principles such as listening to others, making collective decisions, and valuing diverse perspectives.
   • Class Discussions: Regular class discussions and debates about different mathematical approaches and solutions promote democratic participation and the sharing of diverse opinions.

2. Rule of Law:

   • Mathematical Rules and Procedures: Emphasizing the importance of following mathematical rules and procedures helps students understand the significance of laws and regulations in ensuring consistency and fairness.
   • Problem-Solving: Teaching students to follow logical steps and procedures in problem-solving highlights the importance of structure and discipline in achieving accurate results.

3. Individual Liberty:

   • Choice of Strategies: The scheme allows students to choose from a range of strategies to solve problems, promoting individual liberty and encouraging them to find the methods that work best for them.
   • Independent Learning: Providing opportunities for independent learning and exploration supports the value of individual liberty, allowing students to develop their own understanding and interests in mathematics.

4. Mutual Respect:

   • Respect for Different Approaches: Encouraging students to respect and consider different mathematical approaches and solutions fosters mutual respect and appreciation for diverse ways of thinking.
   • Peer Support: Activities that involve peer support and collaborative learning promote a respectful and supportive classroom environment.

5. Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs:

   • Global Context: Incorporating examples and problems from different cultures and contexts encourages students to appreciate and tolerate diverse perspectives and practices.
   • Cultural Awareness: Studying the contributions of various cultures to the field of mathematics promotes understanding and tolerance of different beliefs and traditions.
