    We disagree as many people might not like to do maths within their GCSE’s and might not enjoy maths as much as others. It would be better if they could pick what they would like and then they would enjoy it more. It would also encourage them to work harder if they studied what they like.

    I think it is not necessary to do maths, since it will make life a lot harder as they have lot of other subjects to focus on. Math is not as useful as other subjects like english. In addition, long division will not be used in life often. I think you can decide if you want to carry on maths, depending on the job you want. Although you can easily forget maths, it isn’t useful in the future. In contrast, you can not forget maths as long as you revise it once a month.

    I agree because this will help us learn better and have more knowledge in school . But you might know division,multipiction,ratio,percentage so you might not know it .

  4. Safa K.

    Positives:
    Maths is used in everyday life so it will help to study it
    Some people have jobs in which they need maths
    Negatives:
    Some people will have jobs which they don’t need to use maths.
    Some people will really struggle with maths and want stop at 16 but then will have to continue studying maths for another two years.

    I don’t think this is a good idea because not everyone will like maths and should be able to stop at 16 and not all jobs will need maths.

    I Disagree Because Some People Might Not Want To Do Maths And Some People Might Not Be Good At Maths Also Some People Would Want To Do Other Subjects Other Than Maths.-By Sadeen And Ayaan.

    I agree because the people who struggle with maths should have an extra year to help them boost their knowledge of maths and hopefully pass their A-levels and GCSE.

  7. Afreen S.

    I agree with this proposal as maths is one of the most key subjects to learn and most jobs require maths such as a engineer and a shopkeeper. Even though you struggle with maths it is important to learn more as you use it everyday to pay different amounts when buying things. However there are some negative impacts as many people find it hard but it will impact your knowledge but if you don’t want to do it you can have a separate teacher which can help you more

    I don’t agree because we have our own opinions therefore a prime minster can’t just tell us what you have to do in something us school pupils learn at school.

    I agree because some of the people who are 18 they could forget how to do maths and maths they can learn fractions,long division,short division,times,and if some 18 or older don’t want to do maths they might not want to do maths because they want to do something else and if they don’t want to do maths they could ruin their career of doing maths and then they might not know how to do any division,times,even long division.

  10. Fariha A.

    I disagree because although math can very helpful in many ways , it is not used for everything and by 16, you will learn enough to be able to cope in day to day where you will need maths . Their are also many people who dislike maths because of the stress they have using it and stress can lead to many other problems.

  11. Shahzaib M.

    I agree because maths is part of your education like addition subtraction and division and what about if you forget 🤷‍♂️

  12. Rahat A.

    Maths is an important subject, but other people can stop doing maths due to there careers. Some jobs do require GCSE’s, but some only require apprenticeship. What Rishi Sunak has proposed is has a good side and bad. If you do maths up till your 18, the people who have will have a more open mind and more better experience with maths, but with people that don’t want to do their maths all the way up to 18, there may be people who don’t want a GCSE on Maths at all. Some can forget maths and move on with their different life jobs and what they want to do. I agree with Sunak, but some others may not agree with anyone else, depending on where and what they want to achieve.

  13. Leon T.

    My opinions of Rishi Sunak’s proposal that every school children up to the age of 18 learns maths is it is useful because it is needed to do many things when you are older,it will also help the school children who struggle with maths and the cons of this is people might not enjoy learning maths because they might struggle more or already know the answers and they might want to work at the age 16.

  14. Muhammad B.

    I agree because Maths for me is a life skill and sometimes when you get older you can sometimes use math in your job. Most people stop Maths at the age of 16 to get a job. You need maths for your career and when you are at your GCSE’s you need to be studying maths to aim for one of the highest scores possibly so it is very important to study maths till the age of 18. Even if you are an adult maybe in life you need to use maths and you haven’t learnt maths and you are a cashier you need to know maths for that as it is very important.

  15. Samik S.

    I agree about his thinking as math helps you to do lots of skills in life and can help you be a shopkeeper, engineer or scientist, however people who do not like math there is no point for them to do another 2 years of math. My opinion on this is if they want to do anything about math they can but if they don’t want to it they don’t need to, but it would be good to get more knowledge.

  16. Yaw A.

    I agree with Rishi Sunak but there are also some points that show this may be a dismissive idea. Learning maths can be important for many jobs in the future and should be learned by everyone. But also, negatives points can be made such as the fact that most people struggle with maths and after their GCSEs they will be happy to finish maths. But also, the fact that maths is named the language of the universe and is used in every day life.

  17. Moosa K.

    I think the children will have a chance to say if they want to follow it or not or it can be to a lower age.

    1. Moosa K.

      I agree and I don’t.

  18. Sara M.

    I agree because people need to learn math because there are math in every subject but it hard for the people who have not very good math so they will struggle in math but it help then to learn.👍🏻

  19. Nihit N.

    We don’t think it has to be done until age eighteen, but rather an age like 16. Up till then, all maths can be necessary in real life. The rule could be a great law for people who struggle in maths because we believe with enough decent base learning, anyone can do maths with ease.

    This is a good idea yet I think people who don’t need maths for there career should stop when they want to and for people who need maths can study it to 18 and more if they want to.

  21. Bahar K.

    I agree. Because maths is a key skill in life. You may not always notice it but you use it quite often , i do think it would make us much more skilled in maths. When you do certain jobs you do need to be good in maths. However not all careers require maths , and some people may struggle in math. And are quite relieved when they no longer have to do maths. In conclusion , I think there are pro’s and cons to this decision.

  22. Khairy S.

    I agree because you may know addition but you forget what to solve the math studies and ratio fraction divided multiplication and percentage it would be taught 18 years

  23. Amelia H.

    I agree because you need math to help you in life and to help you in money or others things you need in life however not a lot more f people like math and people may not chose it for there GCSE

  24. Israa F.

    I agree because u will have too carry math in life and for the people who don’t have math in they job,for example artist ,hairstylist. Math is everywhere u go like money ,radio ,subtraction,Multiplication,Addition,Algebra and more.

  25. Hasan S.

    I definitely agree because math helps you in every day life however if someone or some people are not going to use math in there work for example an artist 👩‍🎨 is not going to do any subjects but art.

  26. Manvi R.

    I think it will boost people’s skills because, we use maths in our everyday lives, when we are shopping, for some jobs: Teacher, engineering however, this could be a negative do those who struggle with maths and for those who don’t want a job that pursues maths.

  27. Asim A.

    I agree because it will make you more smart and life skills like knowing everything in seconds.if you want to be a hairdresser you still need to handle money like given change to people

  28. Ismaeel K.

    I think it should stay as an option just as it is, at the moment because not all of our jobs and lives will revolve around math.
    I think that it should not become a law because not all people like maths and won’t really need maths forever.

    I agree because you may know addition but you will forget how to solve and how to do Ratio Algebra Multiplication Division Fractions and Percentage.

    4 Red have had a discussion around this proposal. The class was split between those who felt that maths was such an important part of every day life (especially working life) that children should continue this area of study. However, other children in the class feel that maths is not for everyone and won’t leave room for other creative subjects. A compromise was reached and 4 Red have come up with their own proposal. Perhaps maths should be taught until children 18 however, not formally tested. Proposing that pupils that dont choose to pursue maths to take part in a practical maths lesson every week to keep their skills sharp.
