A new survey conducted by Mrs Pearson’s year 5 class has revealed that a shocking 110% of children leave primary school without a basic knowledge of Maths. The survey was lead by 9 year old Jimmy Collins who was selected as the most qualified to do the survey. Jimmy found that out of the 25 people he surveyed 26 of them did not understand maths whilst 3 of them just sat and pulled funny faces.
Further investigation revealed that 7/5ths of teachers in the 9 member department said that they “didn’t quite understand it themselves, now that you mention it”, while 1.6 of them failed to count to 10.
When looking through Jimmy’s survey we were able to find detailed maps of the UK, the chemical formula for glucose and a brief explanation of string theory, but no child was able to show even a basic grasp of Maths. “It’s really worrying” said Mrs. Pearson. “These kids are just one year away from their vital SATS tests and if they don’t get up to standard quick we may as well say goodbye to their futures.”
These shocking results has once called to question the government’s policy to rely on data provided by 9 year olds.
