Why do I need to study Math’s?
Because we use it everyday, and there are SO MANY jobs that use maths!! Isn’t that great?
The New Zealand Curriculum document tells us that Maths is a subject that develops creativity, problem solving, critical, logical and strategic thinking skills. It goes on to remind us that when studying Mathematics we “learn to create models and predict outcomes, to conjecture, to justify and verify, and to seek patterns and generalisations.” In other words, we develop skills we can use every day.
There are many careers that use Maths in everyday functions, but that Maths is not THE key requirement for. And then, for those of us who love Maths, there are wonderful opportunities for future pathway opportunities. Check out the links below.
