Aims
In line with the New Northern Ireland Curriculum, we inform students that Mathematics is fundamental to life in the sense that its unique language and forms of notation help us to calculate, estimate and problem-solve. It also informs many of the choices and decisions we make about real-life issues and challenges and the actions that we subsequently take.
We engage students with issues which have current and future relevance to them, hence helping students to see the relevance of mathematics and financial capability to real life. This allows students to become successful learners, confident and responsible, and, effective contributors in our society today.
