Maths is Fun

Tuesday May 02, 2017

I don’t know why school teachers and have to keep peddling this particular old chestnut… especially when the people who say it seem to be the people from whom I least believe it! Please stop!

How about:

• Maths is useful
• Maths isn’t all that hard
• Maths is easier with practice

No one ever says brushing your teeth is fun. Useful, yes, and a good habit to get into… but this whole fun thing seems to be as useful as products labelled lite are at helping with weight loss.
