Maths

Why do we teach mathematics at Brownhills West?

Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

(National Curriculum 2014).

At Brownhills West, we firmly believe that Maths should be engaging, challenging and stimulating so that it ignites a passion that will propel our children to become life-long, curious and motivated learners of Maths that value its usefulness and relevance in their everyday lives.
