Home Active – Carol Vorderman offers her services for free


The Maths Factor was set up by Carol Vorderman a decade ago, and – for about £2 per week – you get a website which will help unlock every child’s confidence in maths.

The maths tutoring site is for 4-11 year olds. It follows a 5-step philosophy – a little bit every day, keeping it fun, giving time, combining online and offline plus building your confidence.

Right now, and while the schools here in the UK are closed, the site is completely free. They tell us that..

Following the Government’s decision to implement widespread school closures across the UK to minimise the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). We will be making The Maths Factor FREE for everyone (usually about £2 per week) to support childrens’ continued learning at home for the duration of the UK Schools closure period. We want to help you and your child as much as we can.

We’ve added this to our list of home-schooling resources as part of our Home Active feature.
