Ulster University’s partnership with the Derry Kumon Maths Fest has been praised as youngsters “get to see maths in a fun light”.
The university’s partnership with the Derry Kumon Maths Fest has brought new focus and support to young children across the region, helping them embrace and enjoy maths.
Tina Cassidy from St John’s Primary School said the support of Ulster University and The Department for Economy was making a difference to the pupils at the event and beyond.
She says: “I would love to have access to more events like this.
“It is so much fun for the children and they get to see maths in such a fun light. It gives me as teacher - as we are always learning ourselves - new ideas on how to bring maths alive and exciting for children.”
Sumeeta Gupta, head of Kumon Maths Fest says: “It’s great to have Ulster University on board because it does provide us with a platform to be able to make this event more successful and accessible to all.
The maths fest was a huge success with the young children and teachers alike.
The support underpins the range of activities and initiatives Ulster University and The Department for Economy are helping to deliver across the region.
