Careers in Maths Week
This week students were introduced to some maths related careers during their scheduled maths lessons. There was an emphasis on the four key Skills Builder skills which are a focus in Maths this year. These are: Listening, Problem Solving, Aiming High and Teamwork. Students studied two case studies which gave them an insight into what it’s like to work in a maths related career. At the end of the session students participated in two activities. One was a game of higher and lower which involved working as a team to determine which job carries a higher salary. They were also required to list as many job roles as possible in a set time in a game of A-Z, again working as part of a small team.
