Mathematics is taught in schools to help us to solve problems and to be logical. We learn maths to help us when we grow up. Adults use maths all the time in their jobs as well as in everyday life. They need a knowledge of maths every time they do the shopping, catch a bus, cook a meal or do D.I.Y. around the house for example. Although the Maths curriculum covers time, volume and capacity, measuring, shape and money, as well as working with numbers, our web site concentrates on number work.
