Gorgeous

I have a job which I love. It is only two afternoons a week but I tutor adults in community education courses. I have just finished one called Keeping up with the kids in numeracy. The learners were really quiet at the start but they loved finding out how their children learn maths and refreshed some of their own maths skills. It was a great group and they bought me these...


 
...to say thank you for making maths fun. I can make anything fun me, even fractions and multiplication! Hope you are having a proud week. Jo x

  2. You are doing an essential job. Maths changes so regularly. I wasn't able to help my younger sister or my daughter as their maths was so different. Perhaps it would be a good idea to keep at least some of it unchanged so that parents can help more. You deserved those flowers!

  6. Those flowers are gorgeous, and what a worth while job, maths and me were never friends but I think it about the way it's taught it is so important to make it fun
