Bruno Reddy, CEO and Founder, explains:
“At Maths Circle, our core purpose is to make children feel confident with maths.
As a parent and ex-teacher, I know that when you tap into a child’s imagination, amazing things can happen, however I also know that a barrier to this can be a lack of confidence in their own ability.
That’s why we’ve created these free audio stories and accompanying activities, all centred around the theme of growth mindset and resilience, to inspire confidence not just in maths, but in all areas of development.”
