Two events held last week proved that maths can be fun if approached in the right way. Sponsored by Cllr Alan Young we visited St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School and Cranleigh CofE Primary School to deliver the Fun Maths workshops to KS2 pupils. Some 200 pupils had the opportunity to work in pairs and use their mathematical skills to solve a range of puzzles. As one teacher commented: “Some children who do not enjoy maths really excelled”. The pupils felt more confident at the end of the workshops and the general buzz of excitement was captured by one pupil who said “I will never find maths boring again!”
