Why Study Maths
Mathematics is an exciting and enjoyable subject which is essential for our everyday lives.
It is a logical and beautiful subject in its own right and also helps us to make sense of the world and gives us the tools to change it. From a basic level of numeracy needed for buying food or clothes, to being the language used from quantum mechanics to planetary orbits, Maths is everywhere!
Maths is a subject of ‘doing’ rather than ‘knowing’: while practising it we develop skills in problem-solving, reasoning, logic, and self-discipline. These attributes are all immensely useful in a wide variety of careers. At Enfield Grammar School we hope that we will encourage and help our students not only to learn more about the wonders of Mathematics but also to gain competence and confidence in everyday life and the future workplace.
