The joy of Mathematics lies in the ability to appreciate pattern and order in number, shape and data and thereby make sense of the universe.

We achieve this at St. Teresa's by encouragement, by stimulation and by a practical appproach, with as little rote learning as possible.  The work which we set challenges the pupils to think.

If children take pleasure in an activity or subject, they will want to continue with it.  To this end, the Mathematics department uses modern, vibrant and child-friendly materials, with entertaining IT resources to attain its objective of making every girl a competent - and confident - mathematician. 

Teachers build on each topic, layer by layer, allowing each pupil to progress comfortably.  We ensure that all work tests basic understanding and competence, gives useful practice and stretches the most able girls.

Teachers emphasize the importance of all areas of the mathematics curriculum, stressing that maths is not just learning tables!  With weekly Maths Puzzles, an inspiring and over-subscribed Maths Club, Maths Challenges and an interest in the history of the subject, we at St. Teresa's seek to make this subject an interesting and motivational experience that all of the girls, regardless of their ability, will benefit from and enjoy.
