Mathematics is the study of numbers and activities in our daily lives that use them. We would be nowhere if it wasn't for maths: no bridges could be built, no banks could operate, no boat could be built. Maths plays a major part in coding from World War II secrecy to data transfer over the internet to mentally working out 50% off your favourite shoes in a sale.

Mathematics is a core subject at both junior and senior cycle in Coachford College. The subject is offered at Higher, ordinary and foundation levels ensuring all students are well provided for. Students learn through practice and visual aids and envisage all the principles underlying maths. 

The number of students taking Higher level maths for their leaving cert at Coachford College is well above the national average with one of the best Mathematics departments in a Munster school.
