Spirituality in Maths
Spirituality can be discovered through the mathematics at St John’s, as our children engage in logical reasoning, problem-solving, and the exploration of abstract concepts. While mathematics is traditionally viewed as a subject grounded in logic and precision, its practice can also contribute to the development of spiritual qualities. The process of tackling mathematical challenges encourages resilience, patience, and a growth mindset, all of which are valuable aspects of spiritual development. Moreover, the recognition of patterns, symmetry, and order in mathematics can evoke a sense of awe and appreciation for the inherent beauty and harmony within mathematics through the collaborative exploration of mathematical concepts, our children may develop a deeper understanding of collaboration and the importance of working together to solve problems. Thus, mathematics education extends beyond its practical applications to provide a platform for nurturing spiritual qualities and a direct approach to intellectual growth.
