Is learning Mathematics anything like what I did in primary school?
You will already have learned about number, algebra, shape and space, measures and data in mathematics in primary school. Junior Certificate/Junior Cycle Mathematics aims to build on this. Many Junior Certificate/Cycle Mathematics teachers use practical work and real-life materials in their classrooms. Students often take part in investigations and project work. This is similar to the way you learnt Mathematics in primary school.
Junior Cycle Maths makes maths relevant to the everyday lives of teenagers, and helps them understand it better using interesting and practical techniques. Students are empowered in developing essential problem-solving skills for higher education and the workplace.
