  • September 2026- Math is Everywhere: The Hidden Math of School!

    Welcome Families! This year, we are on a mission to show students that math isn't just a subject in a textbook; it’s something we use every single day. Each month, we’ll explore the "hidden math" in the world around us and share quick, fun activities you can do at home.

    This month, we are looking at one of the places your kids know best: SCHOOL! Did you know that running a school requires an incredible amount of math? Behind the scenes, staff are constantly using math to solve real-world problems.
