In the opening episode of the season, I chat with Karen McGuigan, founder of The Maths Mum and creator of Maths for Life. Karen is incredibly passionate about maths and her ambition is to ensure all children, regardless of their ability or any additional needs they may have, leave school armed with the mathematical life skills they will need in the future.  In this episode, Karen shares: - Why she is so passionate about maths and ensuring all children can pick up those life skills. - Her journey to becoming The Maths Mum and where the inspiration for Maths for Life came from. - Ideas for breaking down the objectives for those pupils who need extra support to get true understanding.
