We understand that maths is a life skill and can also help learners become ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world by providing them with tools to analyse data critically, enabling them to develop informed views on social, political, economic and environmental issues. It encourages clarity of thinking, allowing learners to understand and make reasoned decisions. We teach maths and numeracy both discretely and then these skills are applied across the different areas of learning across the curriculum.
