Course Overview

Much like teaching any subject, teachers who are passionate about maths are able to share their knowledge and excitement with their students.

The purpose of teaching maths is to encourage students to build confidence and have a positive learning attitude towards the subject. It should educate them that maths is important in their own lives and in society which will allow them to excel in their learning.

Teaching maths should also provide a strong mathematical foundation for students who wish to study the subject at a higher level, such as post-16 education.
