Where Could Maths Take You?

Would your students be surprised to discover that the founders of Google and Netflix, a Wimbledon champion, a BBC presenter and a member of Coldplay all studied Mathematics?

This engaging careers display challenges the misconception that Maths only leads to careers in engineering or finance. Instead, it showcases eight well-known individuals who have used mathematical thinking to succeed in technology, television, music, business, sport and entertainment.

Each poster explores the subject they studied, where they studied, their career today, why they chose Mathematics, the transferable skills they use every day and an inspiring quote to encourage students to see the value of Maths beyond the classroom.

Featured people include Hannah Fry, Rachel Riley, Sergey Brin, Reed Hastings, Dara Ó Briain, Jonny Buckland, Virginia Wade and Brian May.

Perfect for Maths classrooms, careers displays, National Careers Week, Gatsby Benchmark displays, open evenings, options evenings, corridors and KS3, KS4 and KS5 classrooms.

Designed with a clean, modern and professional layout, these posters help students make meaningful connections between the skills they develop in Mathematics and the incredible range of careers available to them.

Students will discover how Maths develops skills including logical thinking, problem solving, critical thinking, data analysis, resilience, creativity and innovation, skills that employers value across every industry.
What’s Included?

8 full-colour A4 careers posters, print-ready PDF files and a modern, minimalist display designed to inspire students and encourage meaningful careers conversations.
