Mathematics - Core Subject

Mathematics has evolved from measuring, counting and describing objects to a structure of order and logical reasoning. Core understanding of Mathematics and mathematical concepts is crucial to every students learning at GCSE. Be it managing money, being on time to school, or working out the best angle to take a free kick, mathematics is present in every aspect of life. Recognising where mathematics appears in everyday life can lead on to deeper thinking mathematicians and problem-solvers. GCSE Mathematics builds on prior knowledge to develop structure, problem solving and reasoning.
