Many of the problems humanity will face in the future will, at least in part, be solved using Mathematics. Whether it is dealing with the effects of climate change, securing clean energy, feeding the world or improving medical treatment, Mathematics will be pivotal to humanity’s future.

In addition, Mathematics will be key to our scholars’ futures, whether it is becoming world class STEM practitioners, running households, businesses and organisations, or avoiding falling into debt, the future lives of all scholars can be improved through a high-quality Mathematics education.

At Brook Mead we are committed to maximising the Mathematical ability of every scholar, no matter their backgrounds or starting points. We aim to develop a generation of hardworking, independent, rigorous and creative mathematicians, global in in origin, representing the best of Britain’s youth, right in the heart of Leicester.

We also believe in the importance, beauty and value of Mathematics for its own sake, as a part of humanity’s quest to explore and understand the world around us.

Wild maths: https://wild.maths.org/

Wild Maths is a collection of mathematical games, activities and stories, encouraging you to think creatively. The experiments and activities often come with some optional questions to help you think deeply about the maths that goes with the puzzle.

Open Mind: https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/science/mathematics/great-moments-in-the-history-of-mathematics/

The website Open Mind has lots of information about science and maths but we especially enjoyed this article about the history of mathematics. It details the greatest moments that have changed how we think about numbers and mathematics over the last 3000 years.
