Taking part benefits you and your students

“When students are engaged and start to see the real life impact of a subject, they’re more enthusiastic about it – I noticed an increased motivation to learn.”

Emily Tulloch, Teacher

Everything’s designed for easy, online access:

  • Signing up is quick and easy
  • Students can log in at any time to read mathematicians’ profiles and send questions.

It’s free for schools:
