We want every learner to engage with the power of maths so they can develop the skills and confidence to achieve and progress throughout their lives.
That's why our unique and innovative approaches help to build confidence in maths at every age and stage of learning. We believe every learner can be a confident mathematician.
As part of our mission to advocate the #PowerofMaths, we were proud to be a lead supporter of National Numeracy Day 2020 and celebrate that maths is for everyone. During the virtual festival on 13 May 2020, we joined a Q&A with The Maths Factor creator Carol Vorderman on how everyone can unlock their maths factor.
Together with National Numeracy, we've also created a brand-new resource to help adults who support children’s maths learning both at school and at home. Focusing on confidence and mindset, the guide to Boosting Number Confidence is full of fun and practical activities, videos and tips and is designed to help everyone build a positive relationship with numbers.
Our KS3 and GCSE courses help students master maths with confidence with a UK-specific approach that draws upon global best practices and cutting-edge research. Every student can be a confident mathematician.
That’s why both Maths Progress (Second Edition) for KS3 and the Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) Mathematics series are specifically founded on key principles to nurture students’ confidence in maths so they can believe it too. And if they can believe it, they can persevere, achieve and progress.
