Walk into any primary classroom and you will see the signs. A child sits frozen over a blank page. Another rushes through answers simply to finish as quickly as possible. Someone calls out, “Miss, can I go and sharpen my pencil?” On the surface it looks like avoidance, but it often points to something deeper. It is maths anxiety. It affects confident learners as much as those who struggle and it quietly shapes how children see themselves as mathematicians. The impact is significant. Anxiety interrupts working memory, increases fear and reduces curiosity. Awesomenicity was created to change this. It brings confidence, joy and calm back into primary maths through playful inquiry, visual learning and strong teacher support. Every child deserves to feel good about maths and every teacher deserves the tools to help make that happen.

The financial lifesaver I wish I knew about while teaching abroad

Living and teaching overseas is full of unforgettable moments — discovering new cultures, exploring new cities and adapting to a different way of life.
