Learning simple techniques to secure a confident level of mathematical skills.

The Maths – Stress = Happy sessions are designed to help children understand when they see a Maths problem, what they have to do and how to do it. If children are given the tools and a lot of reassurance and practise, they can stop feeling anxious about maths, and start feeling good!

All sessions are based on learning a simple technique using very simple numbers and then practising at the appropriate level. Printables with different level problems will be available and children will be encouraged to learn the technique and feel confident with simple maths problems before progressing. Nothing will be public or scary – there is no need to worry about feeling exposed as your child can work independently and even keep their camera off if they so wish! There is a lot of serious maths in these sessions within the context of fun activities and a positive atmosphere.

These classes are suitable for children who are unsure of maths or have gaps in their knowledge or want to learn new clever skills to help them with their future maths.

The approach in this course will be light-hearted and fun but the children will gain confidence in their ability to solve maths problems.

PLEASE NOTE THAT AN ADULT IS NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE YOUNGER CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE SESSION.

Depending on the ability and confidence of the child, this course is suitable as a stand alone course for children ages 9 – 12. Children who are struggling with Maths might also benefit from joining our Strides in maths course for ages 7 – 9. Children who are confident in most of the Maths – Stress = Happy course, would benefit from taking both the Maths – Stress = Happy Course and the Focus on Maths course.

Please note:

• If a class with exactly the same name is on more than once a week it is a repeat lesson with the same content. As places are limited and so you don’t have duplicate lessons please only sign up for the one class per week. This will leave spaces for other customers and stop any additional cost to yourself as we will be unable to give a refund.
• On occasions we may have to change the day or time of a course or on rare occasions the course is cancelled. This maybe due to a teacher leaving or low numbers. We do try to do this only when absolutely necessary and will always give advance warning and try to offer an alternative for you.
• Standard classes are £3 and numbers are limited to 40. Smaller classes (e.g, GCSE) are £6 are per student and classes are kept smaller at 25 maximum. If there is more than 1 child joining a £6 class you need to make sure you have added the correct amount to your basket. We reserve the right to ask for back payments if this does not happen.
• For safeguarding purposes, every Zoom lesson includes a brief visual registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on and their correct name (the one used on their LLP child profile) displayed on Zoom. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange a password for them to use instead.
• We are now offering some courses as pre recorded lessons in topic blocks on llpextralearningspace.co.uk This then allows you to buy previous lessons in topic packs either for revision purposes or to do a topic yourselves. We recognise that this will have some issues for those that do not wish to be on camera so the new format of the class is that the visual register and any informal discussions happen before and after the lesson itself is recorded. The teachers will all have their settings set to speaker view so that the thumbnail of whoever is speaking will only be highlighted when or if they speak. If you do not want your child to appear in the recording it is your responsibility to ensure the camera is switched off after the visual register unless they have an agreed password then it can remain switched off at all times.
