Solving Together

Solving Together is an exciting project, originally funded by Nesta and Tata, aiming to promote parental engagement with mathematics.

This project offers family-friendly homework activities for upper Primary and lower Secondary students. 

Parents and carers are encouraged to watch our Guidance for Parents video, which offers useful advice on how to support students' mathematical thinking at home. 

The Guidance for Teachers explains the thinking behind this project, and offers suggestions for how to follow up the homework activities in class.
