Join us and our special guest, Ben Sparks, as we discuss everything from engaging teaching methods and practical applications to fostering curiosity among students.

We emphasise the need for teachers to make maths interesting and accessible beyond the traditional curriculum. While exploring the importance of deep understanding over memorisation across all subjects.

We also take a look at parental influence and some different, varied pedagogical approaches to create an engaging and accessible learning environment for all students.
