Hear it from the classroom
What the pilot schools have to say…
“We’ve always found it tricky to get a Maths workbook that doesn’t just have endless sums, but actually gets children thinking. The Maths Fundi books have been fantastic! They’re colourful and inviting, so the children are excited to use them. The content is comprehensive, and I really like that the skills are drawn from a variety of teaching methods – it brings a lovely balance to the learning. The activities are varied, and the Thinking Deeper pages are a real hit – they make thinking fun and encourage problem-solving. We’ll definitely be using Maths Fundi Junior again next year and can’t wait to see the new Grade 1 and 2 books!”
– Amy (HOD of Junior Primary – Pilot School)
