“The benefits of Explore visiting the school were that the class can see that maths can be fun! The tutors were light and cheery, giving good praise and encouragement. It was a chance for the lower ability students to have a go in a group context and the high ability students got a chance to help and work with children they wouldn’t normally work with.”
Miss A Stoneman, St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School
“The workshop was great. It generated interest in the event and showed a connection between what we teach and real world situations. There was lots of positivity, energy and humour.”
