My speech

Why maths is the most important subject 

Angles, length, shapes, area, weight, total, survey, data. What do all these words have in common you may ask? Well… throughout the year you may hear these words being mentioned in maths. Hi, I'm Arhan and I believe maths is the most important subject in school and I'm here to tell you why so be prepared to be amazed by the wonders of math.

Firstly, maths helps you develop better problem-solving skills and helps you think analytically. You develop a generic ability to solve life problems. When you use problem-solving skills it helps people understand deeper concepts. Did you know teachers use problem-solving skills for more effective activities? For example 236 - x = 104  x equals what? If you know the answer you have good problem-solving skills. Thinking analytically is very important because you think critically it also helps you solve complex problems. When you think analytically you apply logical thinking. 


Secondly, Math helps you complete tasks in everyday life, for example, it helps you tell the time, count money, shopping, DIY projects etc. Let's say that you went to the store to buy groceries and you don't know how much each fruit/vegetable weighs BUT with math you can tell because it shows you the numbers of the weight so that you know how much the fruit/veg weighs.


Think about it every job requires math, with math you can do a variety of jobs, like a math tutor- someone who teaches math, accountant- they are in charge of the payroll, tax returns  and a company's financial rules and regulations, cryptographer they break codes to keep data safe from hackers and a statistician they analyze and gather data. Did you know Issac Newton ( founder of gravity ) used powerful methods of mathematics for discoveries isn't that cool! Math also helped people go to the moon, design haircuts and make sense in medical scans. 

To top it off I hope I have convinced you that math helps people develop problem-solving skills and think analytically, help people in everyday tasks and will help you get a job so remember “without math, there's nothing you can do.”
