Maths on Toast’s creative approach aims to build a positive attitude to maths and talk about the strong emotions that maths can provoke.

Maths anxiety can cause poor performance which in turn increases the anxiety. The research shows that the attitude of adults towards maths highly affects children and early intervention is key to breaking the vicious circle.
