Promotional Content • Saturday 7th February 2026


For many families, maths can be a ‘Marmite’ topic


Some parents and children love it, while others fi nd it challenging and a source of anxiety, often shaped by their experiences at school. Joanne Adams, a primary maths


teacher and founder of Happy Hedge- hog Learning, works with children to help them build confi dence in maths through small, manageable learn- ing steps. With over 20 years’ expe- rience in education, her lessons and resources are based on a small-steps approach, with short bursts of con- sistent practice supporting progress.


T rough Happy Hedgehog Learn-


ing, Joanne is developing a range of re- sources designed to support families learning at home. Her aim is to help every child learn to love maths, build- ing confi dence that supports academ- ic progress and skills for life.
