📢We're thrilled to announce that Maths Circle is proudly supporting NSPCC Number Day for the 9th consecutive year on Friday 7 February! 🥳🎉 At Maths Circle, we believe in the power of numbers—not only to unlock academic potential but to build confidence and inspire children. NSPCC’s Number Day is an incredible opportunity for students across the UK to engage with numbers in fun, creative ways while raising funds to protect children from abuse and support families in need. 💚 Why do we do it? Because number confidence opens doors for learners of all ages, helping them thrive in school and beyond. NSPCC Number Day aligns with our mission to make maths a source of joy, curiosity, and achievement for every child. Plus, it’s a wonderful chance for schools to foster a positive and supportive learning environment while contributing to an amazing cause. 👉️ Join us and make this Number Day the biggest one yet! Schools, sign up today to be part of this special day on February 7th. Let’s make a difference together through the power of maths! 🌟 #MathsCircle #NSPCCNumberDay #NumberConfidence #EducationForAll #Fundraising

Thank you for the recommendation James Dobson 🤛 Our programmes are what they are today because of amazing teachers like you! 💜

Fluency explained 💡 Writing for NCETM, debbie morgan unpacks what fluency really means and why it’s the cornerstone of successful mathematical learning. 👇

My BETT 2025 Show “Bingo Card” was almost full this year! If you went, how many did you tick off the list? Which ones did I miss? 😜 Also… … met some super inspiring people, brilliant start-ups and went to outstanding talks. 👀 A few of things that stood out this year: 😎 So much chat about AI which was expected - it can rather overshadow other great innovations, and many of the applications of it still need a lot of refinement before they will start to really save teacher time. Plus, as Patrick Devanney from ClassLink said, caution is key, especially when sharing data. But the companies that use existing AI engines like ChatGPT and then make it accessible for teachers through an easy-to-use UI and sensible guardrails seem to be really doing a great service to educators. Shout out to Quizizz! 🤓 The “live classroom” arena stole the show for me. Watching a live maths lesson run by LEO Academy Trust was so inspiring. Their students were able to show how technology enhances education in a way that I’ve never seen at BETT before. If companies can show their tech in action like this, it removes the barrier to adoption and application instantly. Especially loved when one of the students took over the mic. Future host in the making! 🎤 Cheryl Shirley who narrated the lesson and Julaan Govier who taught it were outstanding. 🤩 In the startup area the variety of solutions was awesome to see. Stand out for me was Alex at Bow Tie Maths. Breaking down the GCSE maths curriculum and generating predictive grades from infinite practice questions is superb. Moving away from percentage assessment scores, to tangible exam-specific predictions will turn data into usable information for teachers. A real “why has no one else done this before” moment. He’s using AI a bit, but didn’t make a fuss, instead focussing on a key pain point for teachers and how his product directly solves that problem. I expect he’ll be on a bigger stand next year. 👫 A lot of exhibitors sharing stands this year. Partly due to consolidation in the market, partly perhaps due to the challenges of getting ROI from BETT these days. Buddying up, or joining a bigger company is sometimes the only way smaller teams can still have a presence at BETT. Some inspiring chats too with Henry Warren, Peter Burgess, the Wonde team, and Phill Kay and many others. Lovely also to share the week with Alex Hansford, fellow Maths Circle LTD amigo. 😀 If you went, what did you learn or see differently this year? #bett2025 #education #technology

9 years supporting the NSPCC and counting... We're teaming up once again to celebrate the 25th anniversary of NSPCC Number Day on Friday, 7th February 2025. So #NSPCCRocks is back! 🏆 What is NSPCC Rocks? For one day only, we're running a free online times tables tournament for all schools in the UK! It's designed to get children excited about practising their times tables whilst representing their school, class, and themselves! Students from around the UK will answer as many multiplication and division questions as they can to see their class and school soar up the leaderboard - all whilst supporting the NSPCC! ✨ Why do we do it? By combining fun, engaging maths challenges with fundraising, we aim to inspire a love of learning while supporting the NSPCC’s crucial services like Speak out Stay safe and Childline. Together, we can empower children with better futures. For more information on NSPCC Rocks, like how to enrol (even if you don't subscribe), click here: https://lnkd.in/emMhuA3y 🧮 What is NSPCC Number Day?

Over the last couple of weeks, you may have spotted our keypad revamp, or as we're calling it - our "glow up". ✨ We realised the time was right to refresh our interface with vibrant colour themes and better accessibility displays. We're all about finding ways to make maths learning not just effective but genuinely exciting for students. Why does this matter? 🎨 Confidence through style – When students can express their individuality, they feel more connected to the platform and motivated to log in. 🌈 Visual appeal matters – A modern, playful interface creates an inviting space for kids to learn and play. ⭐ Enhanced accessibility features – With improved contrast and declutter options, our interface is now even more inclusive for children with visual or cognitive differences, ensuring everyone can learn comfortably and confidently. Ready to dive in? Head to Settings & Admin > Early Access Features to toggle the update to "Active" or log in and click here: https://lnkd.in/dgi8UD7p

Wow, what a year for TT Rock Stars and NumBots! We’ve been inspired by all the “wrapped” and “year-in-review” features, and it’s given us the perfect excuse to reflect on an incredible 12 months. Here are some of the standout stats from both programmes, and we’re absolutely blown away by the levels of engagement and usage this year. A big thank you to all the teachers and educators who have collectively motivated and inspired millions of children to log on and practise TTRS and NumBots. We couldn't do it without you. Happy New Year, and see you in 2025 for more of the same! 🎆
