Peresistance when learning maths

It is never too late to start studying. By taking the time and opportunity to study most people can achieve well in any particular field. The problem that most people face when they wish to study a subject is accessible teaching. When I worked as a research engineer, I was by definition working at the edge of the knowledge base. There were no books or texts that explained how things worked. Indeed there were no books or texts that explained the background to the current state of technology, the only published information was about the underlying fundamentals. So anyone who was working outside of the field, wishing to enter any particular field, was faced with an almost insuperable problem of discovering the nature of the current state of play. But this problem is more general. It occurs at every level of attainment, even the fundamental level, but here the problem is slightly different. The problem is not gaining access to the information, this is freely available, but lies in gaining access to accessible information. Children who would benefit from extra maths tuition have no difficulty finding maths text books at whatever level they require to be taught, but these need to be interpreted to them. Reading a maths text can be one of the most dispiriting and boring activities on the planet. Children aren’t going to be inspired to learn maths from being presented with a maths book. Puppet Maths is designed to address this problem. Puppet Maths is designed not just to explain how maths works, but also to engage and entertain the child, so that maths becomes fun, and maths becomes easy.
