Or help children who may not enjoy maths, to enjoy maths. I was useless at maths in school. I think I had a learning difficultly when it came to it, but I never got help. I think making maths enjoyable and easy to learn is better than increasing the age of people studying it.I’m sure they’ll be delighted

It’s completely different to how we would’ve learned .I’m lucky it’s my sons favourite subject as there’s no help from meI’m 45, decided I’d have a look at the maths quiz underneath that articleread the first question and thought NOPE lol I’ve managed to get through life without knowing what a cube number is!! Poor kids
The English now is really difficult at primary age, I can’t imagine what secondary will be like .This Maths thing is stupid. I had to work three times as hard for my B in GCSE Maths as for my A* in English. If I'd had to study it to A-Level, at the expense of another subject, my A Level grades would have taken a massive hit.
We can discuss it all. It's not either/or.And there we have it. ^^^^^ (Absolutely NOT having a go at anyone here btw )
Everyone discussing Sunak’s ludicrous new maths “policy” instead of the energy crisis, cost of living, NHS on the point of collapse, strikes, Covid and flu levels going through the roof. It makes rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic look positively reasonable.
So it’s worked then.
Teachers seem to have a hard enough job teaching kids of different academic levels in one class ,schools are limited in how many TA’s they can bring in,most employers are looking at experience over qualifications going by my sons recent experience.Or help children who may not enjoy maths, to enjoy maths. I was useless at maths in school. I think I had a learning difficultly when it came to it, but I never got help.

It’s a bit of a late fix what help can they offer ?I’m sure the private sector are making a fortune as is so won’t want any NHS patients, people will be left to die . It’ll only get worse now the schools are back can you imagine the queues in the coming weeks .I know locally there were over 400 people stuck in A&E’s yesterday with no sign of a bed .As seen on Twitter
“ Rishi Sunak announces he wants everyone to be better at Maths by the time they’re 18 so they can count how many hours their nana has to wait for an ambulance divided by how many NHS beds there are divided by how many fucks a Tory gives about it.”
“If I have 500 people a day dying outside 40 non-existent new hospitals, how many dead cats do I need to throw on the table to distract the media ? Please show your workings”
There is already a lack of qualified teachers and recruitment levels for many subjects have dropped through the floor. Who does Sunak expect to provide all of these extra lessons? Is he using his own brand of maths - where it was claimed they had built 40 new hospitals and recruited thousands more nurses and police officers when in fact the numbers had gone down?
They don’t have enough teachers NOW let alone to cover extra lessons.My brother is a maths teacher and hasn't worked in the UK for the last 2 years. No plans to return. Two of my friends that are teachers have quit in the last year with no job to go. It's bleak. They won't be able to provide enough maths teachers for everyone to do a level maths.
Not to be a dick to you, but would you not say that’s a problem that as an adult you were struggling with primary school age maths? I don’t agree with making everyone do A Levels maths, however I don’t think that will be the plan, but we have one of the worst rates of adult numeracy in the developed world and its costs the country billions each year. Other countries don’t have this problem so I don’t think it’s a case of you either get maths or you don’t, a lot of it’s just down to teaching, which from my time at high school just over 10 years ago was pretty poor for maths.I hated maths at school and couldn't wait to give it up. I managed to scrape a C at O level but only after having extra tuition.
My daughter lost me at about Year 5 ... I was no help to her at all!!
I've always thought maths was one of those subjects that you get or you don't.
