We are excited to help teachers and students embrace the new Irish Primary Mathematics Curriculum for 2024/2025. Our engaging, hands-on workshops are perfectly designed to support teachers in delivering a playful, problem-solving approach to mathematics, as outlined in the new curriculum.

Why the New Maths Curriculum Matters

The new Primary Mathematics Curriculum in Ireland is designed to make maths more relevant and engaging for students. By integrating play-based learning and real-life problem-solving into lessons, the curriculum aims to foster a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Teachers will focus not only on what students learn but also how they learn, helping students apply maths to everyday situations.

Nutty Scientists can help you bring this vision to life!
