@ Home Learning with Maths Guru- Paul Swan!
Here you can find all of our free materials organised and bundled. Hopefully we can in some small way help this tough time to be a little easier. We appreciate that parents working at home with their children won’t have access to the range of materials that schools have available so we have created activities that require only the most common materials. Make sure you come back often, as our plan includes making tons of new student-focused videos and activities as we go.

Maths Coaches Corner
As many of us find ourselves in the position to provide distance math learning opportunities for our students, online resources can be a tremendous help. Unfortunately, a large number of our students do not have access to technology at home and, even for those who do, this site seeks to provide a balance of online and hands-on experiences. They have collated some suggestions and resources for your 'at home' experience.
