Both parents and teachers know all too well how important numeracy is; maths is one of the most important subjects a child can learn at school, but it is notorious for being difficult and sometimes boring. One woman who has worked tirelessly to transform pupils’ and teachers’ perception of this key subject is Barbara Young. Barbara has spent many years working with students of all abilities developing a range of innovative and interesting maths textbooks that keep secondary children of all abilities motivated. Low attainers love working with this material because she has made the mainstream material accessible to them, rather than using ‘dumbed-down’ material. Able students are stretched and motivated to do more on their own than is set for homework. One teacher reported, “I’d forgotten teaching maths could be such fun!” Jugglers’ texts consist of 25 titles for years 7-13, along with the accompanying resource material. Each book covers one years’ work. Both teacher and pupils experience an exciting new way to learn all the important techniques. Maths will no longer create a chorus of groans from students but become the lesson they most look forward to. Barbara is all too aware that schools are cash strapped currently, which is why teachers and private tutors can download, for free, 3-4 weeks’ worth of work on one topic from each of the 25 texts to use with their classes. This exciting material will transform the classroom, keeping both teacher and pupil enthralled. Unlike many textbooks, each Jugglers text has been rigorously trialled in schools to ensure that they really work. So if you’re looking to liven up your lessons,
