House Of Maths

rimary School children (and up to Year 8 age 13). I strongly believe that you’ll only learn maths if you have fun doing it, and I love finding ways to picture and handle maths – so when learning to add numbers or about Normal Distributions roll dice, and when learning about 3D shapes hold the actual physical shape instead of a picture of it (my videos demonstrate how I love to use physical props and humour to make maths work). The House Of Maths page is my way of reaching out to students, parents, teachers and anyone interested in having fun with maths. I also write a monthly maths blog on the House Of Maths Website: www.houseofmaths.co.uk or like this page to be kept informed. So please enjoy the puzzles and videos herein, share them wide and come back again soon. I love to hear your comments and feedback, and if you have a suggestion for a blog topic you’d like me to pen, then leave a comment or send me a message. If you’ve enjoyed a post then please leave a comment, say hello and join in the chat. And if you’re the right person to arrange a House Of Maths visit for your school then visit the Website or read on, I’ll look forward to meeting you! Music, participation and amazing custom props, covering all aspects of Primary maths up to Year 8.
