Core Maths is designed to use logic and reasoning to enhance critical thinking skills. We look at mathematics in real life contexts and explore the wider implications of those skills. The course develops the ability to rationalise a point of view by critiquing data and also enhance the understanding of the world around them by looking at financial skills as well as current issues and being able to critique news articles according to the data that influences them to make sure our students leave us with the ability to form fully supported arguments.
