As a parent or guardian, you may be sometimes puzzled and frustrated when your child asks for help with their maths homework and you willingly assist, only to be told ‘No! We don’t do it that way in school!’

Please join this free webinar which will introduce you to some of the methods that children experience in school, so that you are fully armed to help your child more effectively and with far less stress.

Helen will also explain some of the reasons why schools bother with methods which in all honesty, can look like a bit of a faff when there are perfectly good written methods which have been around for hundreds of years. And hopefully, Helen’s fun and friendly approach will give you a new appreciation of some of the wonders of maths and help maths conversations in your family run smoothly and with positivity!
