What Teachers are saying

"Maths My Way has revolutionised my teaching of numeracy in the classroom. It poses questions that allow for individual thinking which makes for interesting discussions each day where we can learn from one another. The online resources are bright, extensive and simple to follow. The book itself presents challenges in a new, engaging way which I find motivates the children like I haven’t seen before."

Ellen Hahessy, Senior Infants Teacher - Limerick Educate Together NS

What Teachers are saying

"The opportunities and guidance about which hands-on manipulatives you can use really complement the learning slides to go with each day’s lesson. Maths My Way gives every child the opportunity to achieve success in maths."

Bernie Riordan, 2nd Class Teacher - Limerick Educate Together NS

What Teachers are saying

"The daily slides are really engaging, offer many opportunities for Maths Talk and lots of real-life examples. The pupils’ knowledge and maths language has grown significantly in the short time we have been using the programme. We plan to roll out Maths My Way in 3rd-6th Class when it is launched."
