Maths – I See Maths

Do you want a mathematical challenge? Get inspired with I See Maths! Gareth Metcalfe, a primary school teacher, hosts daily lessons that make maths learning visual and make you think. The lessons aim to teach maths in new and exciting ways. Watch the daily video and then click on the link below the video to access the supporting activities. Each video builds a mathematical idea using small steps. Although there’s a new video each day (look at the dates), you can always pick an older video if it’s an area of maths that interests you. There’s a video for Years 3 and 4, and a video for Years 5 and 6.

Despite his injury, Joe Wicks is continuing to host his workouts on his YouTube channel. As you are spending more time at home, it’s really important to stay active and healthy. Exercising can help you to feel happier, more energised and more positive. Remember that you don’t have to join Joe live at 9am, you can do these workouts at any time during the day.
