Maths Factor: A fun way to learn Maths for Childrens

The Maths Factor is a maths tuition website for children aged 4 to 11. The site’s content is organized to correspond to England’s new 2014 national curriculum, although it is utilized successfully by youngsters all over the world.

British media personality Carol Vorderman founded The Maths Factor in 2010. It was purchased by Pearson, the world’s biggest education firm, in 2013 and re-launched in October 2014, equipped for tablets and the new national curriculum.

The Maths Factor is built around small sessions that may be used on a daily basis. Carol begins each session with a vibrant video tutorial, followed by a fun warm-up and then a practise. There are more than 1,000 of these sessions, which are divided into 32 categories.

The Maths Factor mission – a message from Carol Vorderman

I first set up The Maths Factor in 2010 with the same mission that I have now: to unlock every child’s confidence in maths.

Once a child’s confidence is unlocked, everything else follows: their school results improve, their thirst to learn increases, and their options expand.

Good Maths skills are essential to so many different A-Levels, to so many different degree courses, and to so many different careers. Maths has never been so important in society, and mastery of the subject starts at Primary age.(This description is taken from their website)

Founder

Carol Jean Vorderman, MBE (born December 24, 1960) is a British media personality who is most known for co-hosting the game show Countdown for 26 years, from 1982 to 2008, as a newspaper columnist and purported author of educational and diet books, and for hosting the annual Pride of Britain awards. She’s written several books about detox diets.

Vorderman began his career as a junior civil engineer at Dinorwig Power Station in Llanberis, Wales, and later moved on to Leeds as a graduate management trainee. During the early 1980s, she was a backup singer with friend Lindsay Forrest in the Leeds-based pop group Dawn Chorus and the Blue Tits, which was fronted by radio DJ Liz Kershaw.

The band did a cover of The Undertones’ hit Teenage Kicks (one of the songs Vorderman had to identify during the “intro round” when she appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks in December 2009 — the show frequently asks contestants about their pasts). During the years 1984–85, she was a regular guest on Radio Aire’s Peter Levy show, when she would arrive in the middle of the morning to tell a storey to pre-school children.

Vorderman worked part-time in the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Information Services Department in the mid-1980s, mostly in the production of in-house television programmes.
