Mathsball by fde.

MATHSBALL® is a unique set of sessions aimed at primary schools. They are fun, inclusive and designed to demonstrate National Curriculum intent.

Implemented into the school week, they are a great way to add to your broad and balanced curriculum.

Delivered in a football environment (school field, playground, sports hall etc), they are approximately 45-minutes in duration and offer a unique way of enhancing the way mathematics and football are taught in your school.

Updated regularly, sessions are available for all primary school years; Reception with their Early Learning Goals through to Year 6's mental maths.

Football and maths in one!!

Sessions can be tailored to your requirements.

For example, children will not be as fluent in the early stages of a school year compared to the latter so delivery can evolve as the year progresses.

At any stage though, we have core sessions in place for all year groups that incorporate statutory curriculum requirements to cover Reception, KS1, KS2 and Upper KS2.

As an example, we incorporate:
