What is mathematics anxiety?
Mathematics anxiety affects 1 in 4 children.
It’s the feelings of panic, helplessness and paralysis they have when they’re required to solve a mathematical problem.
Children who struggle then avoid maths and numbers more generally, becoming a lifelong problem.
Adding confidence to the equation!
Introducing Town Squared. A beautiful multiplayer world for kids aged 7 to 11, that weaves maths concepts into exciting gameplay to build confidence and enjoyment,
for better outcomes in class.
