“Problems are the hymn tunes of Mathematics” - G.H. Hardy
In Wellington College, Mathematics is viewed as the essence of problem-solving. Students are taught that Mathematics is more than just numbers and calculations – it is a language, a toolkit and a mindset that will equip them for dealing with problems in all aspects of life. Through this, resilience and perseverance in the face of difficulty are fostered in all Mathematics lessons.
