Learning mathematics is not just a joy in your house, you feel confident you are providing an excellent mathematical education AND your kids love it.
This is because you know:
- You are prioritising genuine mathematical thinking over evidence and workbooks.
- You know how to talk about maths with your child and what makes them curios.
- Your home is set up for exploring maths easily.
This is a course for home educating parents of young children that are not ready for formal maths yet.
It is likely your child is ages 5 - 10. That said, I firmly believe that all children develop at the rate that is perfect for them so you will know best.
You will want to know your children are developing mathematical skills but you won't be looking for a curriculum.
You are enthusiastic to dive in, learn with your child and take part.
You are not looking to achieve particular mathematical outcomes in a set time frame. You can trust your child and their pace of learning.
Real life experiences set you up for understanding abstract mathematical concepts.
Let’s explore ideas for how to give these real life experiences and how to talk about them with your child.
Like reading is the foundation of literacy, number sense is the foundation of mathematics.
Let’s explore exactly what number sense is (schools get this wrong), some activities that are easy to use at home and how to talk to our kids to help them really get it.
Mathematical thinking often takes a back seat to learning formal methods. Not only is this a huuuge mistake, it is significantly less fun and interesting!
Making mistakes and going wrong is wrong is vital for learning maths. But maths anxiety often comes from a deep belief that making mistakes is bad.
Let’s explore how we can encourage creativity and mistake making in maths.
My system for moving away from a school mindset in maths towards a mindset that will fully support your child.
My full recorded workshop for parents on how to use physical and visual resources to make maths learning make sense.
Live calls run each at 8pm UK time on Wed 3rd June, Wed 10th June, Wed 24th June and Wed 1st July

You have life time access to this course after purchase.
I would highly recommend the live calls for maximum impact, but they are also recorded and added to the course area.

When I think of mathematical development of children, I think if 3 stages. Exploring first, then introducing methods and finally diving into complex written and abstract maths. I trust that all children develop at exactly the right rate for them. Most child that will be interested in this content will be 5-10 years old. But not all.
