“Our parents really benefited from the course. It gave them a greater understanding of how children learn and use number skills and equipped them with practical strategies to support maths learning at home.
They mentioned how approachable and enjoyable the sessions were, and how much more confident they now feel in helping their children with maths. It’s also been particularly valuable for some of our parents who volunteer in school. The ideas and techniques they used will directly support their work with our children in class.”
