Project Maths doesn’t quite add up

The first Leaving Cert papers to test Project Maths failed to make the grade, says Brendan O’Sullivan

There was a lot of unhappiness expressed by teachers over the new-style Project Maths papers on Monday.

In terms of the ordinary level exam, I have heard repeated reference to the issues of language and time. Students found the language very difficult on ordinary level Paper 2 and not reflective of the sample paper.
