Maths: Achieving Excellence through Enterprise in Education

This guide seeks to illustrate how enterprise can be embedded in maths in secondary education. Members of the school senior management team will also find the guides helpful in their discussions with each department. Some of this material may be of interest to primary schools engaged in transition projects with secondary schools.

Young people's education is enhanced by opportunities to solve problems using mathematical content, contexts and materials drawn from the working environment. Mathematics makes a major contribution to preparing young people for work through developing skills, most notably in numeracy and problem solving.
