• “Every child should have the opportunity to love maths.” - Karen McGuigan, Founder & Author
• The goal of the Maths For Life programme is simple maths done accurately, independently and in real-life scenarios.
• It is the real-life context of the supporting materials that resonates with our autistic learners. The ability to show how a maths concept is applied in an everyday setting changes the emphasis from the traditional rote learning and methodology to the underpinning understanding, the meaning in the mathematical concept in the world around them.
