Assistant Head of Maths Mr Henshaw, along with the Maths Department, ran a competition asking pupils to say what they particularly enjoy about the subject. Pupils were tasked with completing the following sentence,  "I love Maths because..."

Here's why Shannon and Owen love Maths:

Shannnon...

..because if I'm struggling with one method there is more likely another way to help me remember it than just what the teacher has given.

Owen...

... because Maths is a subject that is vital to practically every job you could imagine applying for - Computer Programming, Banking, etc. If you wanted to do anything for your future, you would need a decent grade in a Maths GCSE. 

The teachers at Priory make the lessons very fun with mini games or competitions between the class such as Shootout and Pirate Game. Maths is also a subject that you could find a lot of fun in, especially if it comes to things such as tournaments in real life. 

Maths is commonly frowned upon for being boring but in my opinion, there is something to enjoy in Maths, and how much Maths will carry you on it's shoulders for your future.

Also Sparx - Sparx is fun!

Pupils that want to claim an 'I love Maths' badge should simply click the link below to access the survey and write Mr Henshaw a sentence or two explaining why they love maths. The best responses from each year group will be selected and also featured here in our article.
