We help pupils with the heart and head for maths realise the potential of their power. The backbone of our approach is maths circles - small groups of pupils who meet weekly to tackle a curriculum of challenging and satisfying maths. https://axiommaths.com

Why β€˜fun’ isn’t just for the last week of term β€” Axiom Maths December can be a tough month in the teaching world. The days are cold and dark, end of term assessments loom and both pupils and teachers are ready for a well-earned break after the longest…

❄️ December in schools can be tough: dark days, tired minds and the pressure to β€œlighten” maths with games.

But why do we save the fun for the final week? And what does that say about maths the rest of the year?

Our blog explores how joy + rigour can (and should!) coexist.

Using only 8's, can you create a sum of 1000?
YouTube video by Jonathan Hall Using only 8's, can you create a sum of 1000?

A couple of weeks ago I attended a great session on problem solving with Ian Davies @axiommaths.bsky.social

I thought this was cool so I made a quick video.

✨ New case study!

The Market Weighton School introduced timetabled maths circles to ensure every child had the opportunity to join. The result? Almost 100% attendance.

Pupils now proudly say: β€œWe’re a maths circle and we think like university mathematicians.”

We’ve extended the deadline for our fully-funded online maths circles to Friday 14th November 2025.

πŸ’­ What if a few intentional changes could quadruple your maths circle sign-ups and keep pupils coming back?

That’s exactly what mentor Ross did at Swindon Academy.
From personalised assemblies to building real pride and community, he’s grown four thriving circles.

🚨 @fftedudatalab.bsky.social shows only 9% of disadvantaged pupils with strong primary maths skills achieve a B+ at A-Level.

The research shows where pupils fall away. Our own research shows why: disengagement arrives early in secondary school.

πŸ’» Change often feels unnerving - especially when you’re young & face new situations. But when three pupils moved from in-person to online maths circles, their experience and enthusiasm evolved.

With the right tools, pupils can realise the potential of their power anywhere.
