🧮Maths Week Scotland runs from 19 - 27 September! 

This year is the 10th anniversary of #MWS26 and the theme is Maths Matters, highlighting how maths supports decision-making, problem-solving and innovation in every sector.

Did you know❓
Our IDL Numeracy software helps make maths less scary and a whole lot more doable for young learners, especially those with dyscalculia or anyone who finds numbers a bit of a challenge. 

We've built a fully graded course that lines up with the primary maths curriculum, helping your pupils feel more comfortable, more confident, and a whole lot better about maths. 🚀

53% of young people in the UK feel anxious about their future on a daily basis.

Today is Youth Mental Health Awareness Day, and we're celebrating the determination, creativity, and resilience of young people. This year's theme, #BuildFutureYou, is all about helping young people build for the future, one step at a time.

At IDL, we understand that academic progress and emotional wellbeing are closely connected. Frustration, embarrassment, and setbacks can chip away at confidence, making learners less eager to participate and engage at school. 📚

We're supporting youth mental health by providing numeracy, literacy, and wellbeing support, helping to create positive learning experiences that contribute to improved confidence and emotional wellbeing. 😊
