Does taking maths literacy classify me as stupid? Lets just get one thing straight, currently I am a maths core student. One of the biggest decisions at the end of the grade 9 journey is the choice between maths literacy and maths core. Maths literacy has been classified as the subject for stupid people, for those who are not capable of pure maths. Yes of course as we know it maths core is a lot harder, but is it more practical? Are we going to use it when we set out on our new life journey…

This is the way school systems have determined to test children’s knowledge and has become a way to rank them against their peers; also it can show where a student is struggling with a specific area of material. Every test is comprised of a multiple choice, fill in the blank and true or false that test specific areas in…
