"When are we going to use this?" Part 4 - A satisfactory Answer 100% of the time

I started this series by posing the question "Why is this question asked more of Mathematics?"

I believe that every subject in High School is beneficial because they teach students how to learn, think, understand in different ways. The research techniques learnt in history, the report writing of Business Studies and the problem solving logical approach of Mathematics are all important to develop a well rounded student.

This being said, we must ensure that our teaching approach does promote problem solving, mathematical thinking and logical clear reasoning. The Working Mathematically strand of the current NSW Syllabus and the Australian Curriculum Syllabus in New South Wales strongly support this emphasis in our teaching.

In other words:

Maths teaches you to think!
