Our Mission
We will provide a quality educational STEM programme that extends, enriches and empowers children. We will develop their analytical, creative thinking, mathematical and deductive skills so that they can participate in the excitement of discovering the simplicities of a complex world.
So much effort goes into helping children who have problems with mathematics, but little is done for those who have a natural flair for the subject. These children need to be challenged with complex and varied mathematical problems to foster and encourage their natural ability.
The aim of the Living Maths programme is to provide a stimulating environment where learners who have an above-average ability and analytical problem solving skills, will be challenged beyond the scope of the normal classroom setting while helping to foster a new excitement in children who need confidence with numbers.
This is a structured programme that supplements and augments the existing mathematics syllabus. Various classes are aimed at learners that have a whole range of abilities. Our main thrust is towards children who have an above average aptitude for the analytical sciences and the field of mathematics. We believe that no development or appreciation of mathematics can be achieved unless the learner is able to visualise the relevance of the subject in their everyday lives.
Living Maths currently employs dynamic senior Maths and Science students and professional teachers as lesson facilitators. Their interests range from Medicine to Mechanical Engineering, but in each case, they share a common passion. There is a respect and appreciation for the elegant and efficient way in which mathematics has been used to describe the most complex of natural phenomena. Each facilitator is suitably inspired to impart this appreciation to learners who are responsive to creative and innovative input.
