It is important to foster a culture of respect within the mathematics classroom by ensuring all students are thinking responsibility about how they interact with their peers. Students who are resilient, determined, and respectful creates a positive set of values to apply to all areas of life and helps develop students’ character with dignity.

Mathematics can develop a culture to allow deeper thinking and equip students with the wisdom to reflect, enquire and challenge key mathematical concepts. Students are guided to think critically about problems and develop resilience by being given opportunities to learn from mistakes in various real life situations.

Mathematics can make an important contribution by helping children and young people to make informed decisions and ensures students flourish to be outstanding citizens. We want students to thrive and have a positive outlook towards mathematics, understanding its importance in the ever-changing world.
