OfSTED are really hot on SMSC these days. That's Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural aspects of learning.
The spiritual side of things is covered in maths, as far as I'm concerned, because there are so many things in maths that just make you go: woah!
This can be nicely summed up as "awe and wonder". Think golden ratio. Think zero divided by zero. Seriously: woah!
I created a document along with a colleague all about that kind of thing for my department. I enjoyed writing it, and some people have told me they enjoyed reading it (and they didn't even look like they were lying) so I decided to make the document publicly viewable. I hope other maths departments across the country find it useful for injecting a bit of "woah" into their maths lessons.
So I have uploaded it to the TES resources website. Here it is: awe and wonder.
