Overview
Employers, academics, international league tables and Ofsted are all telling us that we need to be better at maths. However, the standards of maths teaching in secondary schools can vary. Inconsistent approaches are used in different subjects, leading to confusion for pupils and a missed opportunity to reinforce the learning of a vital life skill.
