Fun, Interactive and Creative Maths Workshops

Testimonials

I take pride in the workshops I provide, and an essential part of developing the workshops is getting constructive feedback. Over the years I have received many feedback forms from schools, one of the recurring comments was to have everyone included in hands on activities, which was a challenge with large groups of say 90 children or more! As a result, I redesigned my "props" and tweaked the workshops, which I believe now involves everyone even in large groups. I am very happy with the responses I receive, below are a few comments from schools. If you require a direct reference, please contact me and I will send you details of schools that are happy to give a reference.

"A very stimulating hands on experience. A chance for the children to use and apply their problem-solving skills. The children were given the chance to think for themselves. They were really delighted to solve their challenges"

"Very engaging, thought provoking and interactive. The way the challenges were presented made you WANT to investigate the problem. I liked the involvement of everyone in all the challenges and the physical activates engaged the children."
