Why Learn Maths

A lot of you might have questions about how Maths will be relevant in life after school. Hope you find this article useful and relevant to you, especially in training your problem solving skills.

Besides these practical reasons, Maths is also a must have for entry to many courses in Polytechnics, JCs and even ITE and private schools as it is a foundation to many other modules (subjects) in these courses.

So, work hard and practice hard for Maths and you will definitely see the results if you put in the effort!!
