Mathematical Thinking in the Real World

The Mathematics faculty is placing an emphasis on the importance of mathematical thinking in the real world. It is crucial for our students to understand that the Mathematics curriculum is designed to encourage logical thinking and advance problem-solving skills. Whilst the content that is explored may not have direct relevance for the students, the skills that are developed will certainly be vital. Once students make this connection, their level of engagement significantly increases. Parents can assist in this process by having positive conservations regarding mathematics with their children. This could involve asking children to simply explain their thought process about an everyday decision.
