Maths Mate Mrs Ann's study room

A South African study room, open when you need it

Maths becomes possible when the working stays visible.

Maths Mate is a patient tutoring desk built around a simple discipline: write every layer, find the first slip, hint at the method, and let the learner finish.

LIVE WORKING

A garden is 12 m by 7 m.
How much edging is needed?

1Draw and label the four sides
2Choose the perimeter method
3Add both pairs of equal sideslook here

“You have the right shape. Which pair of sides has not joined the ledger yet?”

01

A continuous ledger

The whole chain stays on the desk, so a child can see how one idea became the next.

02

A precise nudge

Mrs Ann points at the relationship that was missed, never at a mark or ranking.

03

The pen comes back

No answer reveal. No shortcut theatre. The next line belongs to the learner.
