Introduction

We are Maths Explorers, grassroots ‘real maths’ activists, on a mission to get our country dancing to the beat of maths. We take mathematical thinking outside the narrow confines of classroom & curriculum maths and make it vibrantly accessible to each one of us in the communities we live in. Working on the ground hand in hand with community partners including libraries, schools, universities, STEM outreach organisations, school-going & home-ed families, we actively blur the distinction between work and play – thinking mathematically can be creative, playful, liberating and healing. Our in-person & online events & services allow young people and adults to experience their own mathematical thinking without the fear of failure.

Testimonials

We’re having some great conversations about how before Maths Explorers we thought maths was just about numbers. Now we’ve realised maths is everywhere... Wish I knew that when I was at school! It’s been a game changer for me that’s for sure!

I think your lesson ideas and enthusiasm are excellent. I also love the relaxed pace and way you ensure the children know their answers are always valid (even when they might be a little off track)

...your management of the group is so carefully and sensitively done while encouraging and stretching each individual. As I have said before my children absolutely love maths club. Thankyou to you...!

I could do these challenges all day!

I really look forward to Maths Club every week, I love seeing everyone, I find the maths creative

I just kept saying this is impossible, it’s impossible… …and then it wasn’t! I did it!

Meet & Make Friends

You might think that meeting up to do maths can’t offer much of a fulfilling social opportunity. At Maths Explorers, we know it absolutely can – when we invest in helping the social atmosphere thrive, like it can do at a club!

We’ve run our clubs with children and adults in this social way for years now, making an activity-based maths meet-up the anchor upon which social learning around the practice of maths skills & understanding can grow.

Play as a Way of Thinking

Poetic licence allows the artist in us to break the rules of language so as to say or discover something new.

The mathematician in us can play with mathematical techniques and ideas in just this way too.

Every one of us has a mathematician inside of us, just as we have an artist, a writer, a scientist…. every one of us can become an even better mathematician.

Join our clubs for a chance to relax, play around and tinker with maths ideas, building curiosity and subject knowledge along the way.

Discovery & Happy Maths Memories

Experiencing wonder and beauty in maths can open doors to building happy maths memories and meaningful maths experiences – deepening our sense of connection and belonging to maths ideas

Children at our clubs can immerse themselves in a challenging yet relaxed maths enrichment atmosphere where the process of problem-solving itself – enquiring, noticing, thinking and sharing mathematically, are more valuable than just the pursuit of ‘correct’ answers.

Hope to see you soon at one of our clubs!
