Maths Week Day 5

Maths Week: Careers powered by maths

As we wrap up Maths Week, we’re highlighting how maths connects to the world beyond the classroom. From science and technology to engineering, business, and finance, maths skills open up a world of opportunities for every student.

Encourage your child to see maths not just as a subject, but as a gateway to exciting careers — from data science to engineering, software design, and even actuarial work in finance.

Idea of how parents can support maths career exploration:

• Talk about how maths is used in your own job or in everyday life.

• Watch short videos or read articles together about careers that use maths.

• Encourage curiosity 

• Explore the many maths pathways available after school — from apprenticeships and business studies to data, science, and engineering routes.

Together, we can help students see that maths opens doors to every future.
