Maths enrichment

Maths enrichment 

At Underwood West, we believe that a strong foundation in mathematics is crucial for our pupils' academic success and critical thinking development. Our maths enrichment opportunities are designed to ignite a passion for numbers and problem-solving through engaging and challenging activities. We offer a variety of experiences and maths games that go beyond the standard curriculum, encouraging pupils to explore and apply mathematical concepts in creative ways. With support from our dedicated teachers, pupils participate in maths clubs and competitions that stimulate their curiosity and foster a love for mathematical learning. We aim to inspire confident, innovative, and enthusiastic young mathematicians here at Underwood West.
