Mathematics at Pleasant Street
Mathematics is both a key skill within school, as well as a life skill, to be utilised throughout every person’s day to day experiences. Mathematics equips pupils with the uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world. These tools include logical reasoning, problem solving skills and the ability to think in abstract ways. Mathematics is therefore not just important in our everyday lives, but integral to success in the modern world, enabling us to manage our lives effectively. At Pleasant Street we endeavour to ensure that children develop a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards mathematics that will stay with them for life.
