Maths

Welcome to the Mathematics Department!

 

 

 “Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics.” - Dean Schlicler

 

Mathematics is important in everyday life. It helps us to make sense of the world we live in and to manage our lives.

Mathematics engages learners of all ages, interests and abilities. Learning mathematics develops logical reasoning, analysis, problem-solving skills, creativity, and the ability to think in abstract ways. It uses a universal language of numbers and symbols, which allows us to communicate ideas in a concise, unambiguous and rigorous way.

Using mathematics enables us to model real-life situations and make connections and informed predictions. It equips us with the skills we need to interpret and analyse information, simplify and solve problems, assess risk and make informed decisions.

Within the Maths Department we aim to create an environment that is safe, nurturing and enjoyable, where young people can acquire the skills and attributes for lifelong learning.
