Mathematics

The Mathematics Department at King Edward’s aims to develop an enthusiasm and solid maths knowledge to ensure all pupils are numerate and thoroughly equipped to handle all aspects of maths. We enhance learning through a variety of enrichment activities, including weekly problem-solving competitions (Junior, Intermediate, Senior) and regular involvement in Mathematics Challenges and Olympiads.
