Keep the Brain Warm This Winter: Fun Indoor Maths Activities for Kids!
Jun 23, 2025 |
If you're a parent who’s heard the dreaded words, “I hate maths,” you’re not alone — and more importantly, you’re not without support. At Mathnasium, we work with children who find learning maths frustrating and overwhelming. The good news? It doesn’t have to stay that way.
Spotting the Signs Early
Children often struggle with maths long before their grades reflect it. You might notice comments like, “I’m just not good at maths,” or “maths is boring.” These aren't just throwaway remarks — they can be early indicators that your child isn’t connecting with the way maths is taught in the classroom.
Some common signs your child might be struggling include:
Recognising these red flags is the first step to making a positive change.
Why Some Kids Struggle with Maths
Maths is a subject that builds on itself. When a foundational concept is missed - fractions, times tables, or place value - it creates a gap that makes future topics harder to grasp. Unfortunately, most classrooms move at a fixed pace, leaving little room for personalised instruction. Some children may feel like they’re falling behind, others lose confidence, and many simply disengage.
At Mathnasium, we believe that all children can learn maths — they just need the right approach.
"No one is born a maths person. You become a maths person by learning and practicing."

How Mathnasium Makes a Difference
At Mathnasium, we don’t just tutor - we teach maths in a way that makes sense. Every student begins with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment that pinpoints exactly what they know and where they’re struggling. From there, we create a personalised learning plan tailored to their unique needs.
Our highly trained instructors provide face-to-face teaching focusing on:
This approach is all part of the Mathnasium Method — a proven system developed over decades to help children catch up, keep up, and even get ahead in maths.
We Meet Children Where They’re At
Mathnasium supports children at all skill levels, but today, we want to focus on those who find maths especially difficult.
If your child finds maths:
Then Mathnasium might be exactly what they need to change their relationship with learning.
We help children see that they can understand maths. With consistent support, many begin to say, “I get it!” — often for the first time ever. This shift in mindset is powerful. It transforms not just how they do in school, but how they see themselves.
Real Confidence. Real Results.
When children understand maths, they start to enjoy it. They engage more in class. Their results improve. Most importantly, they begin to believe in their own abilities.
As a parent, you don’t have to navigate this alone. By acting early and enrolling your child in a maths programme designed for real understanding, you’re giving them a head start - not just in maths, but in life.
