I have chosen this elective because of my love of maths. I have had a real enthusiasm for maths and numbers from a young age and have always been fascinated by the way numbers are connected and can move and change.

In this elective I am looking forward to learning more about maths and where it comes from, and especially how maths is used in school. I have found that children in primary school have a love of maths and enjoy learning about it, in general. However, when we get older, usually reaching high school, that love is gone. Textbooks chase out the enjoyment in maths.
